I've been living with a lie for so long now, baby 
I gotta set my soul free, 
I can't take it no more 
That's why 
I gotta Sing and shout it, tell the world about it 
The truth is sweet 
I made a promise to myself not to let nobody else 
Have any sway on the way 
I lived my life 
I didn't see the need to compromise but now 
I've come to realize 
That living is more than just surviving 
And I've been lying to myself, 
I gotta cover up what 
I feel But now it's time 
I must admit this is real, this is real 
The truth is sweet 
Just like honey from a bee, the truth is sweet 
So many people in the world let it all pass them by 
They won't admit they need rescued from their lonely lives 
That's why we gotta sing and shout it tell the world about it 
The truth is sweet 
When you've been hurt so many times it's enough to make you blind 
To anything that feels like true happiness 
Nobody wants to be the foolish one but after all is said and done 
You constantly settle for less 
It's like a broken carousel, it just goes round & round & round 
But now it's time you admit you've lost ground 
Hear that sound? 
The truth is sweet 
Just like a baby's kiss, the truth is sweet 
Go on admit it, you know you want it to be true 
Go on admit it, you say you don't but you know you do 
Go on admit it, you've been disguising what you feel 
You could be living in a fantasy 
But then that fantasy could turn out to be real 
Sweet and true like my love for you 
And everybody in the world's gonna wake up some day 
Singing love is the answer, love is the answer 
What's left to say?
