Call Caedmon`s The Truth Lyrics

The Truth Lyrics

I've been putting on and putting off too many people 

And I'm getting old to live like an injured man 

Ailment and unfilled prescription like the nose on my face 

Like a broken boat safety raft and a love for the water 

And I just can't decide to sink or swim it's me or them 

Should I save myself or go back for the others because 



Maybe there's no gray and I was wrong to tell 'em so 

And maybe all that I've to do was done a long time ago 



'Cause there was life before my life 

There was provision before my need 

There was redemption before my sin 

For the sake of the world I thank the Lord 

That the truth's not contingent on me 



I've been dressing up and dressing down for too many people 

And I'm a little young to live like a troubled boy, a troubled soul 

A fish out of water, 'cause we're all just the same 

We're all just as good and just as bad and just as distracted 

By the corners of our eyes as our fathers were and theirs before 

And all those before them and still I glance around 



And with the way I stare you'd think I'd seen through a two-by-four 

And with the way I walk you'd think I'd never seen grace before 



But I've been putting up and putting down too many things 

That I know nothing about but I'm jealous of 

Holding pride as tight as I can like she was my only daughter
