Truth Be Told Lyrics

Time goes on forever

Where the dirt is running red

And everything is coming true

Just like the old ones said

The future is a mystery

That you won't find hidden in a book

You got to dig a little deeper down

In the dirt to take a look

Sun goes down across the desert skies

For fifty thousand years

The past never lies

Truth be told, bought and sold

Caught out in a lie

Some people rewrite history

And watch the well run dry

But there's a highway and a memory

Where the Dreaming never dies

You'll find the diamonds in the dust

Underneath an open sky

On a long road bound for somewhere

Way off that beaten track

We ride into this country's heart

So saddle up and don't look back

With open hearts and empty hands

And a debt we've still to pay

We get to fight the good fight now

In the brand new hope of day

Sun comes up across the open plain

Fifty thousand years

And a reason to change

The sun will rise

The night will fall

This world will turn

In spite of us all

We stand or else we fall

For anything

Truth be told, bought and sold

Caught out in a lie

Some people rewrite history

And watch the well run dry

But there's a highway and a memory

Where the Dreaming never dies

You'll find the diamonds in the dust

Underneath an open sky
