Lyrics
A Simple Truth
You left me long ago
Thought you'd get by without me
But soon you'll see the light
Your world is all about me
I let you live
I let you play
I let you have your way
But soon it's time to take what's mine
There's nothing you can say
These are my mountains and the forest is my hair
These are my oceans and the birds fly in my air
This is a simple truth of life
I am the world and you are mine
You've done your best to separate
Yourself from who you are
But you'll find out without me there
You can't get very far
You've ripped and burned and drilled and drained
And stripped me nearly bare
But you can't run and you can't hide
'Cause where you go... I'm there
These are my deserts and the rivers are my veins.
These are my valleys and the herds roam in my plains
This is a simple truth of life
I am the world and you are mine
You've scraped and scratched with all your tools
And left me full of scars
And then you turn away from me
And head out for the stars
There are no guarantees my friend
So understand this truth
I'll be here when you're long gone
How long you're here's... on you....'cause
These are my mountains and the forest is my hair
These are my oceans and the birds fly in my air
This is a simple truth of life
I am the world and you are mine
I am the world and you are mine
