This song is a straight up masterpiece. I like to think it talks of history and how it’s being erased by man’s actions and why it’s important to keep track of all our roots and what should be done to preserve it all.
[Intro: Cherokee Indian Prayer]
[Verse 1]
Run, hide, all that was sacred to us
Sacred to us, see the signs
The covenant has been broken by mankind
Leaving us with no shoulder, with no shoulder
[Refrain]
To rest our head on
To rest our head on
To rest our head on
[Chorus]
Who's got my back now
When all we have left is deceptive?
So disconnected
What is the truth now?
[Post-Chorus]
(What is the truth now?)
[Verse 2]
There's still time, all that has been devastated
Can be recreated, realize
We pick up the broken pieces of our lives
Giving ourselves to each other, ourselves to each other
[Refrain]
To rest our head on
To rest our head on
To rest our head on
[Chorus]
Who's got my back now
When all we have left is deceptive?
So disconnected
What is the truth now?
[Chorus]
Who's got my back now
When all we have left is deceptive?
So disconnected
What is the truth now?
[Bridge]
What is the truth now?
Tell me the truth now
What is the truth now?
What is the truth now?
Tell us the truth
[Chorus]
Who's got my back now
When all we have left is deceptive?
So disconnected
What is the truth now?
[Chorus]
Who's got my back now
When all we have left is deceptive?
So disconnected
What is the truth now?
[Outro]
What is the truth now?
Tell us the truth now
What is the truth now?
Tell us the truth now
(Tell me the truth now)
Tell us the truth
