Newsboys' song "Truth Be Told (Everybody Gets a Shot)" challenges the modern idea that all beliefs are equally valid. The lyrics describe people who dismiss absolute truth, relying on personal preference or denial. The song asserts that truth is not merely subjective and that everyone will ultimately face accountability. It encourages listeners to consider the reality of God and the importance of seeking truth rather than ignoring it. The message is direct and thought-provoking, urging a response to the claims of Christ.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
He nods a little too fast
Talking illogic with a big bombast, he's
Full on dead sure any way's true, and he
Wouldn't wanna knock it if it works for you, he
Heave sighs a little too loud
So frustrated with the one-way in crowd
Full on dead sure anything goes
Until you go stepping on his own toes
Hold on if the truth be known
Truth is more than "to each his own"
If the truth be known
There'll be more to answer for
Everybody gets a shot
It'll cost everything you've got
If the truth be known
Do you really wanna know?
She tries a little denial
Rolls her eyes like a jaded reptile
True/false questions make her uptight
Opposites attract, so they both must be right
What if there's someone up there?
Shrugs it off with a "don't know, don't care"
Hopes to God he doesn't exist
But ignorance here is less than bliss
If the truth be known
Everybody gets their shot!
