I Seek the Truth (Outtake)
[Verse 1: Elsa]
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
[Chorus 1: Elsa]
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 were
To know who I am meant to be
[Verse 2: Elsa]
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 govern this land with the power inside
That I can't command?
It's growing and speaking a language
That I don't understand
[Chorus 2: Elsa]
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
[Verse 3: Anna]
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
[Bridge: Elsa, Anna]
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
[Chorus 3: Elsa, Anna]
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
[Outro: Elsa, Anna, Both]
And I won't let it
I won't let you
Go
I won't let you
Go
