You Stand Alone Lyrics - Lucky Dube

Liar, liar, your pants are on fire 

You' ve got a nose as long as a telephone wire 

I swear to tell the truth 

Nothing but the truth 

So help me God 

I cross my heart and hope to die 

These are the words we use 

To get out of situations 

Then I wonder why 

We don' t mean what we say 

Then I remembered the terrible truth 

About the truth 

Chorus: 

If you stand for the truth 

You will always stand alone 

The holy book tells us 

The truth will set us free 

But in this world I know different 

Do you believe in the truth 

Do you believe in righteousness 

Do you believe in innocent 

Till proven guilty 

'Cause those that tell the truth 

Are always on the run...Oh God 

Then I wonder why 

We don' t mean what we say 

Then I remembered the terrible truth 

About the truth 

Chorus
