This Is True

© Ron Rutherford & Rarestar Music (ASCAP)

Verse 1
I’m on my way
But I’m never sailing through
If I’ve learned anything
It’s been by way of the hard luck school
And when I smile
You can see I’ve paid my dues
The many miles written on my face
The solemn stare of a transformed fool

Chorus 1
This is to show
What I know
To be real
That I feel
There is old
There is new
There’s a future to dream into
So I can say everyday
I put on shoes
This is true

Verse 2
I’ve got time
If I manage it well
To give everything
Conjure a crystal ball to foretell
And when I laugh
You can see the real me
Leaving a living hell
Heading to the serenity sea

Chorus 2
This is to show
What I know
To be real
That I feel
There is crazy
There is sane
There are tough times still there is gain
So I can safely say, I’m OK
To get close to
This is true

Verse 3
And in this place
Or anywhere I’ve been
I’m standing for the thing
That calls my name on a prevailing wind
And as I live
With the tides that wax and wane
Still I’m on a steady course
Call my ship the spirit of play

Chorus 3
This is to show
What I know
To be real
That I feel
There are stars
In the night
Even in darkness
There’s a guiding light
So I can state, I’ll navigate
My way through
This is true

Chorus 4 - Out
There is sunshine
Through the rain
Clouds with a window pane
And with that said, I’ll make my bed
With a rainbow view
This is true
This is true
This is true
This is true
