The Truth is Essential: Life Needs Truth lyrics

[Intro]
Life
Life is

[Verse]
Is it OK to take a walk?
U.N. delays key climate talks
Voting Rights, "justice", equal pay
Here's what else you need to "NoTuhDay"
World population could reach its peak
How do they make plant-based meat?
How to get a better night's sleep

[Verse]
What is America?
Counting every case
What's in the budget?
How to talk about race
Patriotism, youth, community, tradition
How to handle back-to-school decisions

[Bridge]
Where do we turn?
When the picture's getting darker?
Books for kids, midnight pasta
Talking helps...and how to do it
This...is how we all get through it
[Verse]
What happens now?
Young adults, burdened with debt
Art that confronts
What are carbon offsets?
Working together, working from home
Take a virtual tour in Rome
Bear witness, blind, engage, fight, doggedly, shine a light

[Outro]
How we spend our days is how we spend our lives
Life needs truth
Truth is essential
