"Say, Is It Really True" lyrics

Say, is it really true
That the flame of hope has grown
That the spirit has changed
That the few no longer stand alone

Say, is it really true
That the thought of war's lost its meaning
That self-made devils died
The idols of wealth and power are sinking

The coldest nights finally followed by dawn
An outburst of light
That cures the blind
A strong conviction has evolved in time
That life demands deeds we must define

Say, is it really true
That once buried virtues now arise
That the being itself
No longer asks for a disguise

A power that's been neglected, denied
Now blossoms and grows, calls out the best
At last the change of an era has come
But there won't be much time to rest

Say, is the force I feel within
Heart and mind the truth?
Or am I deceived again, painfully abused
Say, is it really true
That the flame of hope has grown
Or am I deceived again, painfully abused
