The Truth

(Verse 1)
Saw a kid in the park with a plastic wand,
Soap and water dripping on the lawn.
He didn't care about the mess he made,
He just laughed and let the colors fade.

(Pre-Chorus)
And every bubble held a little sky,
A fleeting glimpse of something you can't buy.
I stood there watching with my tired eyes,
But for a moment I was seven stories high.

(Chorus)
We're just spinning 'round the sun, no anchor, no regrets,
Throwing light like we've just begun, forgive but not forget.
The smallest hand can hold the wonder that the wise men never found,
That certain glow when we let go and leave our feet on the ground.

(Verse 2)
Shared a cigarette with a stranger on the train,
We never spoke, but the silence wasn't pain.
His tattoo said “breathe” in faded blue,
And I thought, damn, that's the simplest thing to do.

(Chorus)
We're just spinning 'round the sun, no anchor, no regrets,
Throwing light like we've just begun, forgive but not forget.
The smallest hand can hold the wonder that the wise men never found,
That certain glow when we let go and leave our feet on the ground.

(Bridge)
No flags to wave, no hills to die upon,
Just a spark that races softly on and on.
Every borrowed breath a quiet revolution,
Every tiny yes, a liberation.

(Final Chorus)
We're just spinning 'round the sun, no anchor, no regrets,
Throwing light like we've just begun, forgive but not forget.
The smallest hand can hold the wonder that the wise men never found,
That certain glow when we let go and leave our feet on the ground.
