I would agree with those that think it means the truth will out, that sort of also fits in with ‘coming clean’ for telling the truth.

It means everything will be alright in the end. It doesn’t mean the truth will out.

Everything will be found out in the end, you can't cover things up/lie forever.

I agree. Everything will be revealed, uncovered.
