The Truth Still Remain

I write these lines, they come from me
Not chasing fame or what they see
Every word, a piece of soul
Every sound makes me whole

I'm not looking for the crowd to cheer
Just to feel the truth I hold right here
If magic finds me on the way
Then I’ll smile and let it stay

Every song’s a map of where I’ve been
Painted skies and roads within
If my voice fades through the years
Let it echo through the tears

I don’t need to be a star
My light already burns afar
Every melody I play
Is my heart that finds its way

It’s not the fame, it’s not the gold
It’s the stories left untold
When the world forgets my name
My truth will still remain

The joy I feel when I create
Is worth more than fortune’s gate
Every note I write tonight
Keeps my spirit burning bright

I don’t care for charts or lines
The soul’s the place where music shines
If one heart beats because I played
Then I know I’ve left my trace

I don’t sing to win applause
I just follow higher cause
The truth inside is all I own
And it’s enough – I'm not alone

It’s not the fame, it’s not the gold
It’s the stories left untold
When the world forgets my name
My truth will still remain

All I’ve got is what I feel
Every song, a wound that heals
Through the dark, I’ll find my way
In the truth I play

It’s not the fame, it’s not the gold
It’s the stories left untold
When the world forgets my name
My truth will still remain

Now I sing from higher ground
Every note’s a sacred sound
Through my heart, I’ve found my flame
And my truth will still remain

It’s not the fame, it’s not the gold
It’s the love that makes me whole
Through every joy, through every pain
My truth will still remain
