Show me the wonder lyrics.

Hey, I was just wondering if anyone could help me on the last few lines of the second verse, I've found a few variations online, none of which seem conclusive, the main one is

"we may... in English
about our trooWs from..."

I hear it as
"we may write in English, but our truth remains in Wales."

Any ideas/help?

This is no threat
Just an invitation
A sense of belonging
A sense of inspiration

Is Heaven a place
Where nothing ever happens?
is it too much to ask
To disbelieve in everything?

Show Me The Wonder
I have seen the birthplace of the universe
Show Me The Wonder
I have seen miracles move every verse

If you're exiled
By all the cruel tongues
Then show me the wonder
The wonder of your love

The tapping pain of madness
Running through the veins
We may write in English
But our truth remains in Wales

Show Me The Wonder
I have seen the birthplace of the universe
Show Me The Wonder
I have seen miracles move every verse

Praying for the silence
When we look into the mirror
Staying so patient
We measure the nostalgia

Is Heaven a place
Where nothing ever happens?
is it too much to ask
To disbelieve in everything?

Show Me The Wonder
I have seen the birthplace of the universe
Show Me The Wonder
I have seen miracles move every verse
Show Me The Wonder
I have seen miracles move every verse

Yes, it's definitely "We may write in English but our truth remains in Wales".
