The Bottom Line

If somebody asked you to surrender
 and that was the only way to win
 If somebody offered you the freedom to open your mind again
 would you take that flight
 would you walk right in
 So meet me down at the bottom line
 and open my heart with your hands
 and we'll hear the sound of pretenses falling
 and find where the truth has been
 down at the bottom line
 If somebody led you to the water
 If somebody taught you (right?) how to swim
 If somebody took your doubt and turned it out
 and then you could breathe again
 would you take that chance
 would you dive right in
 So meet me down at the bottom line
 and open my heart with your hands
 and we'll hear the sound of pretenses falling
 and find where the truth has been
 down at the bottom line
 what if the wind blows
 the cradle will fall
 what if the wise man knows nothing at all
 we justify
 we crucify
 but we don't have the balls to cry
 So meet me down at the bottom line
 and open my heart with your hands
 and we'll hear the sound of pretenses falling
 and find where the truth has been
 down at the bottom line
 that's where we'll go
 where truth always flows
