I Seek The Truth – Kristen Anderson-Lopez & Patti Murin (Outtake) (from “Frozen 2” soundtrack)

[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

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 govern 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

[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

[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)

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

[Elsa:]
And I won’t let it
[Anna:]
I won’t let you
[Both:]
Go
[Anna:]
I won’t let you
[Both:]
Go
