Mark Heard All Is Not Lost
[Verse 1]
When civilization takes a nasty turn
And concepts are hushed when books are burned
All is not lost
All is not lost
When swine are the ones who steal the pearls
From the human oysters of the western world
All is not lost
All is not lost
[Chorus]
Truth lives on
Truth lives on
Truth lives on
[Verse 2]
When beauty seems beaten by the callous beasts
And it looks like it will be 'cause history repeats
All is not lost
All is not lost
You can still see grace in the children's eyes
And this planet's face still gladdens the wise
All is not lost
All is not lost
[Chorus]
Truth lives on
Truth lives on
Truth lives on
[Verse 3]
When the hand of man becomes inept
And sketches the truth in silhouette
All is not lost
All is not lost
Oh the hand of God has not worked in vain
And this globe is fodder for the feeblest brain
All is not lost
All is not lost
[Chorus]
Truth lives on
Truth lives on
Truth lives on
[Outro]
Truth lives on
Truth lives on
Truth lives on
Oh truth lives on
Truth lives on
Truth lives on
Oh truth lives on
Truth lives on....
