If it's True

If it's true what they say

If there's nothing to be done

If it's true then it's too late

And the girl I love is gone

If it's true what they say

Is this how the world is

To be beaten and betrayed and then be told that nothing changes

It'll always be like this

If it's true what they say

I'll be on my way

And the boy turned to go

'Cause he thought no one could hear

But everybody knows that walls have ears

And the workers heard him

If it's true what they say

With their hammers swinging

What's the purpose of a man

And they quit their workin'

Just to turn his eyes away

When they heard him singing

Just to throw up both his hands

No hammer swinging

What's the use of his backbone

No pickaxe ringin'

If he never stands upright

And they stood and listened

If he turns his back on everyone

To the poor boy singing

That he could've stood beside

If it's true what they say

I'll be on my way

But who are they to say what the truth is anyway

'Cause the ones who tell the lies are the solemnest to swear

And the ones who load the dice

Always say the toss is fair

And the ones who deal the cards

Deal the cards

Are the ones who take the tricks

With their hands over their hearts

While we play the game they fix

And the ones who speak the words

Speak the words

Always say it is the last

And no answer will be heard

To the question no one asks

So I'm askin' if it's true

I'm askin' me and you

And you

And you

I believe our answer matters more than anything they say

We stand and listen

I believe if there is still a will

Then there is still a way

We're standing with him

I believe there is a way

I believe in us together

More than anyone alone

We're standing near him

I believe that with each other we are stronger than we know

We hear him

I believe we're stronger than they know

I believe that we are many

I believe that they are few

We're standing

And it isn't for the few

To tell the many what is true

We understand him

So I ask you：

If it's true what they say

We're standing

I'll be on my way

We're standing

Tell me what to do

We're standing

Is it true

Is it true what they say
