I Seek the Truth Songtext
von Kristen Anderson‐Lopez & Robert Lopez

Mother, I am flipping through the past
Turning pages of a book to find you
Mother, I am lost, mother, I am scared
Mother, I don′t know what to do
What were you trying to say?
Must've written it down for a reason
Must′ve thought I'd find it someday
I feel this power surging through me every minute
Like a horse that's gone wild

Mother, you were here, mother, you are gone
And you left behind a scared child
Can′t sit around and cry
There′s too much to lose
And I think that I've been given this power for a reason
And I need to know why


I seek the truth
What are you telling me?, I′m ready to hear
Can't go forward this way
With questions growing day by day
I seek the truth
What are you showing me? I′m ready to see
I need to know who you are
To know who I am meant to be

Mother, you were everyone's queen
I watched you closely and you taught me well
How do I be you? How do I be good?
How do I be me in Arendelle?
How do I go in this land with a power inside
That I can′t command?
It's growing and speaking a language
That I don't understand

And I seek the truth
What are you teaching me? I′m ready to learn
Can′t retreat once again
And so I turn to you back then
I seek the truth
You left me messages and they hold the key
I need to know what they mean
To know who you want me to be


Another secret
And another and another
At least you were consistent
Hello father, hello mother
But I won't let that pull us back to what we were before
I won′t let her close that door
No more doors anymore

Where the north wind meets the sea (no more secrets)
There's a river (stay together)
Full of memory (you′re my family)
Come, my darling, homeward-bound (I just found you)
Homeward-bound (you'll stay found)

I seek the truth
You drew a map for me, you left me a clue
You didn′t leave me alone
You're with me, guiding what I do
I seek the truth (Elsa)
They say that it can hurt, but even so (Elsa)
I need to know who you were
So I can know who I am

And I won't let it
I won′t let you go
I won′t let you go
