about

Ruby:  This came along about the time that Al Gore’s “An Inconvenient Truth” was making the rounds.  I borrowed a line from the Bible and Billy came up with this rock guitar riff to my gospel style tune. The star of this show is the big rockin’ chorus, played by a few of our singing friends and a little studio magic, and Madeleine Hall’s extra bluesy bits at the rolling rocking end.

lyrics

Truth
Ruby Bird, Bonk Zone Music ASCAP

The polar ice is melting, the Amazon still burns
And some still aren’t convinced we’re past the point of no return
And we just keep on doing like we haven’t got a clue
But Truth it has a funny way of catching up with you

Yeah Truth will set you free, oh yeah
Don’t want anyone to worry ‘bout me I know that
Truth will set you free
Truth will set you, Truth will set you free

The pale horse is riding on a continent in pain
And children go to slaughter by a government insane
And we can look out yonder, enjoy the pleasant view
But Truth it has a funny way of catching up with you

Now you might say to your friend “I don’t believe at all
That God is waiting in the wings to make the final call”
But it doesn’t matter what we might think is true
Cause in the end the Truth is gonna find its way to you
