When the Truth Comes Rolling - A Song

Lyrics by Joyce Strong, music by Suno

When the Truth Comes Rolling

(Verse 1)
They built their world on silence,
On bribes and broken deals
They painted over history
Like the truth don’t ever heal
But lies are just a scaffold,
And time will pull it down
You can sweep it from the headlines—
Still it rumbles underground

(Chorus)
When the truth comes rolling like a wave through the street
Won’t be no hiding place, no backroom retreat
You can run, you can stall, you can play your game
But the truth comes rolling just the same

(Verse 2)
They said “forget the past now”
But rewriting just draws heat
’Cause the people keep on shouting
And now we’re voting with our feet
The Smithsonian’s lifting covers
The cracks begin to glow
Impeachment’s not a rumor—
It’s the truth we all still know

(Chorus)
When the truth comes rolling like a drum through the town
Won’t be no coverup to hold it down
You can lie, you can plead, you can shift the blame
But the truth comes rolling just the same

(Bridge)
Oh, you watered down the fire
But you never killed the flame
And the names you tried to bury
Keep on rising just the same

(Break – Call & Response)
Who did nothing? — You did.
Who looked away? — You did.
Who sold the lie? — You did.
Now the truth gonna testify.

(Chorus – Final)
When the truth comes rolling like thunder from the east
It won’t ask permission, it won’t beg for peace
You can bribe, you can spin, you can change your name
But the truth comes rolling just the same

(Outro)
Truth comes rolling…
Truth comes rising…
Truth comes calling—no matter your wealth or fame…
The truth’s taking numbers, and it’s calling your name.
