There has to bne more to this
I see the empty faces
Beneath their emaculate steeples
And I can't help but say
Why?
Why are we so empty?
Why?
Why are we so broken?
Why?
Why don't we light the way?
And I hear your still, small voice inside say...
BECAUSE YOU'RE LIVING FOR YOU
THEY'RE LIVING FOR THEY
WHAT DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND
WHEN I SAY
I AM THE ONLY WAY
I GAVE YOU MY SON
THE ONE WHOM I LOVE
HUMBLED TO THE LOWEST POINT
YOU'RE REDEEMED BY HIS BLOOD
YET YOU STILL THINK
THIS IS ALL ABOUT YOU
YOU WANT SOMETHING NEW?
YOU SAY YOU WANT CHANGE?
FIND IT IN MY NAME
NOT YOURS, THIS ISN'T ABOUT FAME
WHO IS THE GREATEST AMONG THESE
I TELL YOU, THE LEAST
MY SON CAME TO SERVE YOU
WHILE YOU SIT AND FEAST
ON SELF RIGHTEOUSNESS
ON SELFISH DESIRES
ON SELF LOVE
SELF SELF SELF!
AND YOU WONDER WHY YOU FELL
BUT I TELL YOU,
THERE IS HOPE
COME TO ME WITH ONLY YOUR DRY BONES
I WILL GIVE YOU LIFE
BUT IT'S SELF YOU MUST DENY
ALWAYS ASKING WHY...
WHY NOT
YOU WILL REAP WHAT YOU SOW
NOW TAKE THIS HOPE I HAVE SO GRACIOUSLY GIVEN
AND CHANGE TTHE LIFE YOU'VE BEEN LIVIN
LET THE EMPTY BE FILLED
LET THE BROKEN BE REBUILT
LET THE EMBERS BE FANNED
INTO A BRILLIANT LIGHT
ALL THIS CAN BE DONE
IF YOU'LL ONLY LOOK TO MY SON
YOU'LL RECIEVE POWER FROM WITHIN
GO! GO BE THE LIGHT! GO BE THE CHANGE
BUT FIRST, DIE TO SELF,
LET NOTHING BUT ME REMAIN
