Ring Of Truth Songtext

Listen to the thunder of the new crusade Look at that flag waving red white and blue They're talking about progress, talking about change Talkin' about tellin' America the truth And me, I'm drifting away from here Called by a voice beyond the news A voice that makes a comfort in my ear The sound of sounds, the ring of truth Took an elevator to the hundreth floor Stepped out onto the highest roof Closed my eyes and waited to turn off the roar I was listening for the ring of truth It wasn't in the wind howling in my ear Or the rumble rising off the avenue But underneath the din, I could almost hear The soundless sound, the ring of truth Underneath the static, underneath the fear is Something that matters, it's what I want to hear It isn't in the earthquake or the fire or the storm It's waiting in the silence, waiting to be born I've been out on the street since I woke up today Now I'm stepping inside this telephone booth I wanna hear your voice, I don't care what you say I'll be listening for the ring of truth We can talk about the weather, we can talk about love We can talk about whatever's on the evening news But more and more, all I ever really hear Breaking through, is the ring of truth
