Things are not always what they appear to be
Beneath the calm exterior
There can be a soul on fire
Truth is not always what the eyes can see
The smile upon our faces
Can disguise our pain and hide the traces
Sometimes the rock that we depend on
Melts into the ground and disappears
The one thing that you thought was forever
Slowly washed away by all the tears
If I gotta be true to no other i gotta be true to myself
Raise up you head now so the world can see
You have the inner vision
Though the fight is far from over
You've got to battle with it endlessly
Before life becomes a rumour
A sudden rising tide that pulls you under
True to myself
If I'm gonna make it come tomorrow
True to myself
I cannot be the voice of constant sorrow
True to myself
Gotta climb the ladder if i'm able
True to myself
I can't keep this shining light under the table
True to myself
I wanna be, I gotta be true to myself
True to myself
