The Truth (la Verdad) Songtext

von Bob Carlisle

Verse 1:
Let me tell you 'bout
A young boy from Santa Ana.
Playing music with the band was
The only thing that ever mattered.
I never really listened much
To Rock 'n' Roll,
Grew up on James Brown, Motown
And Latin Soul
And that's the truth.

All my homies were of
Serious latino persuasion.
They taught me how to find the groove
Despite my sole lack of pigmentation.
They took a little boy with shiny shoes
And they anointed me with Salsa
And Rhythm and Blues, and

Chorus:
That's the truth, the whole truth,
So help me God.
I can't pretend to be something I am not.
So if my midnight confession
Seems peculiar to you,
Well, it may sound crazy but it
Ain't nothing but the truth.

Verse 2:
Now me and Jesus had our
Own kind of understanding.
You see, He knew I wasn't no choirboy,
But he wasn't all that demanding.
He knew I didn't always
Walk the line,
But He was right there
To cath me every time
And that's the truth.

Chorus:....

You may say it's impossible
"Hey that ain't butterfly boy"
I know it sounds so incredible,
But it's the truth.

Es la verdad,
Así que ayúdame Dios.
No puedo ser algo que no soy.
Si lo que digo se vea
Desconocido a tí,
You may think I'm crazy,
Pero es la verdad.
