The Kinks
"True Story"

As I walked home the other night,
I looked up to the sky.
It hit me like a light in the head
He showed me of the world
In a different way.
Oh, I'll never be the same.

(this is space-sector calling) are you talking to me?
(we have a message for you) I could not help but listen.
(children of earth must all become) one family.
(your leaders will not listen) but what can I do?
(people will listen to you) I'm just a poor fool,
(reach out and help us and) make them understand.

A place for everyone,
In their sacred plan.
Living in all lands.


I'll never turn away,
Now my life has changed,
I'll never be the same.
