Truth Be Told

歌詞

Teach me how to be brave in my last day You grew up in a broken home and your mother said the porch was your bed Manipulating your father into confinement Just so they could cut the hairs from your head They tried to steal your strength and beauty away Forcing betrayal of a man I barely knew Abandoned and thrown between white walls But they could never- They will never break you When they put the gun to your head An angel stood between you and the trigger When they said your breath was worth nothing You made them listen to the voice of a leader Teach me how to be brave in my last day You awoke to empty hands, so you worked them to the barest of bones You were found knocked out with blood on the floor But they could never- They will never break you When they put the gun to your head An angel stood between you and the trigger When they said your breath was worth nothing You made them listen to the voice of a leader Teach me how to be brave even in my dying day The truth could never be taken from your lips The shortness of breath you were clutching your chest The world went black but for only a moment You opened your eyes and they locked to mine Never afraid, you were never broken I see now as you're reaching out, You never let a second pass away Unbreakable reflection of grace, Teach me how to be brave in my last day
