  • If they tell me that the bees don't make honey anymore
    What am I supposed to tell you
    If they tell me that the ocean is tired of her shores
    Tell me what am I supposed to tell you

    When I can't tell you anything but the truth
    I can't tell you anything but the truth

    What happens to an eagle's nest in a storm
    How does the mama keep the baby warm
    The wind is telling us that it's time
    And what if we're not ready to fly

    Well, I can't tell you anything but the truth
    I cant tell you anything but the truth

    Tree tops they touch the ground
    In the morning walk with no sound
    Hear no birds, hear no planes
    Through the mud, feel the clay
    Build it up, make it sing
    Make it strong, give it wings

    But I can't tell you anything but the truth
    And I can't tell you anything but the truth

    What is this place, who am I
    Why did we come here
    What is this place, who am I
    Why did we come here

    I don't know, I don't know
    But I don't know
    That we're meant to know

    I don't know, I don't know
    But I don't know
    That we're meant to know Writer/s: JACK HODY JOHNSON
