(Verse 1 - English)
I look into the mirror, what do I see?
A shadow of the person I used to be
We chase the wind, we run so fast
But everything we build, it fades at last
It’s a quiet whisper in the dead of night
A gentle reminder of what is right.
(Chorus - Luganda & English)
Amazima agaluma, naye wegawo (The truth that hurts, but it is there)
Gatutereeza, ne bwegaba amaka (It sets us straight, even when it's bitter)
Speak the soft truth, let it set you free
Obulimba bw’ensi eno tebugasa (The lies of this world are of no use)
Let the truth heal your soul, ne bwekuba akalulu (even if it's a bitter pill).
(Verse 2 - Luganda)
Tukwesezza bingi mu bulyolyomi (We have hidden so much in hypocrisy)
Nga twagala okusiimwa ab’ensi (Wanting to be praised by the world)
Naye omwoyo gukaaba mu kasirise (But the spirit cries in the silence)
Amazima ag’omunda tegakyuka (The inner truth never changes)
Yogera owulirwe, tewali nsonyi (Speak and be heard, there is no shame)
Kubanga amazima gakyusa omutima (Because truth changes the heart).
(Bridge - English & Luganda)
It’s not in the thunder, it’s not in the storm
It’s the quiet voice that keeps us warm
Manya nti ekitangaala kiggulawo ekkubo (Know that the light opens the way)
Ggulawo omutima gwo, tewali kwekweka (Open your heart, there is no more hiding).
(Chorus - Luganda & English)
Amazima agaluma, naye wegawo (The truth that hurts, but it is there)
Gatutereeza, ne bwegaba amaka (It sets us straight, even when it's bitter)
Speak the soft truth, let it set you free
Obulimba bw’ensi eno tebugasa (The lies of this world are of no use)
Let the truth heal your soul, ne bwekuba akalulu (even if it's a bitter pill).
(Outro - Luganda)
Amazima omwoyo... (Truth for the soul...)
Agatereeza... (That corrects us...)
Yogera amazima... (Speak the truth...)
Ag’omunda... (The inner truth...)
Soft truth.
Verse 3 - English)
We build up walls made of pride and stone
Afraid to admit that we feel alone
We wear a smile like a heavy mask
But keeping it up is a hopeless task
The truth isn’t shouting, it doesn't demand
It just takes you gently right by the hand.
(Verse 4 - Luganda)
Ebigambo eby’obulimba binyirira ku ngulu (Lies look beautiful on the surface)
Naye munda mwayo mubaamu akawuka (But inside them, there is a disease)
Tukakasa emimwa gyafye n’ebigambo ebyereere (We harden our lips with empty words)
Nga tulwawo okukkiriza ebituufu (Delayed to accept what is real)
Kyokka amazima bwegajja, agoba ekisikiza (But when truth comes, it drives away the darkness)
N’omusana gw’enjuba ne gukaaka mu mutima (And the sunshine blazes within the heart).
(Bridge 2 - English & Luganda)
So let the rain fall and wash it away
All of the games that we used to play
Lekera awo okutya, weereke ekisa (Stop fearing, let grace take over)
Amazima ag’amazima gasinga emikwano gy’obulimba (True truth is better than false friends).
