I was taught the truth will set you free... unless, of course, you want the truth about who killed JFK.
If you fall, the truth will set you free. And when your heart can see just one thing in this life, we'll set out on the journey.
Truth will set you free. And Truth has a name.
The truth is the most important part of being impeccable with your word...Only the truth will set us free.
