What Is Truth (a Parable) Lyrics - Singles - Harvey Pinkney

What is TRUTH? 

Was the great question of all time. 

Asked the ruler as he washed his hands. 

Some people will search for it but never find. 

Spoke the reliable and faithful Man. 

And sincerely speaking with confirmation of fact. 

The MASTER honestly and accurately revealed what's exact. 

Saying.. 

This is truth and it flies through the air. 

And its for the wise to find. 

The truth that makes excuses bare. 

This truth is for the changing of minds. 

Cuts to the roots...this truth. 

This GENTLEMAN that everyone comes to see. 

From far and near to hear HIS lofty words. 

Will HE expound great truths to you and me. 

For HE speaks of things that we've never heard. 

And as the mob closed on HIM and around. 

The MASTER silently refused to utter a sound. 

cause... 

This is truth and it flies through the air. 

And its for the wise to find. 

The truth that makes excuses bare. 

This truth is for the changing of minds. 

Cuts to the roots...this truth. 

How do you find it? 

Where will you search for it? 

How can you recognize it? 

Where will it be found? 

This MAN who brought it. 

When HE had spoken it. 

This MAN had showed it. 

He was its very sound. 

And in ridding themselves of established fact. 

In not regarding what alone was true. 

The people kept living in a mental lack. 

In not acknowledging exisiting truths. 

If they had only submitted to things unlearned. 

They would have found that with the heart it's earned. 

cause... 

This is truth and it flies through the air. 

And its for the wise to find. 

The truth that makes excuses bare. 

This truth is for the changing of minds. 

Cuts to the roots...this truth.
