Closer to the Truth The Animals

There is a man
There is a man
There is a man somewhere who is closer to the truth
There is a man somewhere who is closer to the truth
There is a man
There is a man

He may be to the east (of the bread?) but not the truth
He may be in the USA and knows that it's no use
He could be in England in a rock and roll group
But there is a man somewhere who is closer to the truth

He may be in Italy working in a field
Or a medic in Vietnam helping bodies heal
He could be a Christian man preaching from a book
But there is a man somewhere who is closer to the truth

There is a man somewhere who is closer to it all
He's not looking outwards, he's looking to within
But there is a man somewhere closer than we've ever been

He could be in Japan, high on a mountain top
Or in Sydney, Australia in a psychedelic shop

He may be a soldier who (suddenly's going on?)
Or he could be almost 'bout to die lyin' over against the wall
