Tony Joe White Closer To The Truth Lyrics

Strong instinct for survival
 Romantically insane
 Moving soft along the edge of time
 Like a panther in the rain

 Manipulated rebels
 With a total disregard for the rules
 When pride comes tumbling off the great white stallion
 You move closer to the truth

 And the search continues for the meaning
 They build the cathedrals high
 But we keep our weapons ready
 Looming dark against the sky

 They're taking down the rain forest
 Changing it to a room without a view
 And the big trees fall like dominoes
 And we move closer
 The eagle watches from the mountain
 As the warriors turn into fools
 And the dice are thrown on sacred ground
 And they move closer to the truth

 And who's gonna tell the children
 How the rivers used to flow cystal blue
 And we keep leaving scars on Mother Earth
 And moving closer to the truth
