Brooklyn The Musical movie - Truth lyrics
rate me<br>
Taylor:<br>
From the time we're very young,<br>
We're told the truth is something precious<br>
Something noble, something regal<br>
It will lift us like the wind<br>
And give us wings like the eagle<br>
<br>
All:<br>
But that's the furthest thing from the truth<br>
<br>
Taylor:<br>
From the time we're very young<br>
We're taught the truth is like a beacon<br>
Something holy, like a spirit<br>
It will free is from our fears<br>
The closer we get near it<br>
<br>
All:<br>
But that's the furthest thing from the truth<br>
<br>
Brooklyn:<br>
Did your heart belong to someone<br>
Other than my mother?<br>
Don't I have a right to know<br>
Have I a sister or a brother<br>
<br>
All:<br>
Don’t I have a right to know?<br>
Don't I have a right to know?<br>
<br>
Brooklyn:<br>
Huh?!?!?<br>
<br>
Taylor:<br>
Oh, the truth is but a flame<br>
That engulfs the butterfly<br>
It destroys all things of beauty<br>
Keep your illusions and your lies<br>
<br>
All:<br>
Walk out that door<br>
<br>
From the time we're very young<br>
From the time we're very young<br>
From the time we're very, very,<br>
Very, very, very, very, very,<br>
Very, Very, very, young…<br>
<br>
Brooklyn:<br>
From the time that I was young<br>
I thought the truth was like a mirror<br>
I wanna face it, I wanna feel it<br>
I wanna find out who I am<br>
But like a coward you conceal it<br>
<br>
All:<br>
But that’s the furthest thing from the truth<br>
<br>
Taylor(spoken):<br>
Look, I don’t know you; you don't know me. You know nothing of me!<br>
<br>
Brooklyn(spoken):<br>
Well, I know this…<br>
<br>
(sung)You left a woman and a child<br>
Have you no sense of shame?<br>
Were you so young and selfish<br>
It's my mother that you blamed<br>
What courage does it take<br>
To look me in the eye?<br>
You can't bury truth in silence<br>
Like a tree it's gonna rise<br>
<br>
All:<br>
Like a tree it's gonna rise<br>
Like a tree it's gonna rise<br>
Like a tree it's gonna rise<br>
Like a tree it's gonna rise<br>
<br>
Taylor:<br>
The truth is but a wind<br>
That robs the autumn from the trees<br>
It leaves things empty like this needle<br>
No, the truth won't set you free<br>
<br>
All:<br>
So walk out that door<br>
<br>
From the time we're very young<br>
From the time we're very young<br>
From the time we're very, very,<br>
Very, very, very, very, very,<br>
Very, Very, very, young…<br>
<br>
Brooklyn and Taylor:<br>
From the time we're very young<br>
<br>
All:<br>
We're taught the truth is all that matters<br>
<br>
Brooklyn:<br>
It gives you strength<br>
It makes you wise<br>
<br>
Taylor:<br>
But in truth it only shatters<br>
So don't look into my eyes<br>
Don't you look into my eyes<br>
<br>
<br>
