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 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 your 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 risin' tide that pulls you under (repeat *, **) (True to myself)... (True to myself)... If I'm gonna make it come tomorrow (True to myself) Hallowed 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, my love (True to myself) I wanna be, I gotta be true to myself, hey, hey… (True to myself)
