  • You can make somebody cry
    Go on
    Do what you like
    I'll be there by your side
    I know
    What the future holds

    You can set the world on fire
    Yeah if you want
    It isn't hard
    I won't be there looking on
    To see the trail of lies
    As you fall

    But I'll take the truth
    The higher truth
    The higher truth
    I want the truth
    The higher truth
    The higher truth

    You can fill the world with pain
    Yeah if you want
    I've seen it now
    You can fill the world with hate
    I've seen it done before
    And I know how it all works out

    Make a promise if you can
    You know
    You'll only break it
    Make a promise if you dare
    Go on right ahead
    And let's see where it gets you

    But I'll take the truth
    The higher truth
    The higher truth
    I want the truth
    The higher truth
    The higher truth

    Maybe you and I one day
    Will finally choose
    A higher truth

    Come let's sit in the sun
    Feel the world spin around
    As the birds fly overhead
    Can't you hear the waves
    Can't you feel the rain
    As it falls upon your face

    I'll take a truth
    A higher truth
    A higher truth
    I want the truth
    The higher truth
    A higher truth

    I'll take a truth
    A higher truth
    A higher truth
    I want the truth
    The higher truth
    A higher truth

    Maybe you and I one day will finally choose
    The higher truth

    Can't you feel the higher
    Can't you feel the higher
    As it falls around? Writer/s: Chris Cornell
