There's a story going round
And it started long ago
And everyone keeps telling it
In places high and low
And because my heart is weary
I really want to know
Is it true what they say is it true?
Is it true there is magic
That we have never known?
Is it true there are powers
That we can call our own?
Is it true there is someone
Whose wonders stand alone?
Is it true what they say is it true?
Is it true?
Not because they told me so
Is it true?
Not because the story's old
Is it true?
Not until you really know
Is it true?
Not until you feel it grow
Is it true?
Now I see it with my eyes
Is it true?
Now I've see the glory rise
Is it true?
Now I know the reason why
Is it true?
Is it true that the doubters
Say that they believe?
Is it true that the skeptics finally receive?
For a heart that is weary
It matters through and through
Is it true what they say
Is it true?
But I know when I wander with an achin' in my heart
We been waitin' round and hopin'
For the magic time to start
And now there's no more waitin'
Good news for me and you
'Cause it's true yes it's true yes it's true
Is it true?
Not because they told me so
Is it true? Not because the story's old
Is it true? Not until you really know
Is it true? Not until you feel it grow
Is it true? Now I see it with my eyes
Is it true? Now I've see the glory rise
Is it true? Now I know the reason why
Is it true?
