LOOK DOWN ON US, HOW SILLY WE ARE
BATTLING OUR PETTY TROUBLES,
LOST IN OUR OWN IMPORTANCE
THINKING WE KNOW SO MUCH
TRYING ALWAYS TO DO THE THINGS TO PLEASE YOU
AND IN TRYING WE HURT EACH OTHER
LIKE LITTLE LIONS FIGHTING FOR THE BEST BITE
IN OUR DEFEAT WE JUDGE EACH OTHER
TRYING TO BECOME YOUR FAVORITE ONE.
AND WE ARE LONELY PEOPLE
WEAK AND AFRAID,
WE ARE ALL TRYING DIFFERENT WAYS
TO RECOGNIZE YOUR LOVING FACE
HELP US, LORD.
WE SAY OUR PRAYERS BUT HATE OUR NEIGHBORS,
WELL IT'S OK CAUSE WE'RE THE RIGHTEOUS ONES
WE MEMORIZE PSALMS AND PROVERBS
BUT WE FORGET TO LEARN THEM BY HEART.
WE LONG FOR LIGHT BUT RUN INSIDE
INTO OUR LITTLE BOXES WE CALL HOMES,
WE WANT TO LOVE, INSTEAD WE HIDE
OUR ISOLATED WORLDS ARE SAFER THAN BEAUTY ALL AROUND
WE ARE ALL TRYING DIFFERENT WAYS
TO RECOGNIZE YOUR LOVING FACE
AND WE ARE LONELY PEOPLE
WEAK AND AFRAID,
WE ARE ALL TRYING DIFFERENT WAYS
TO RECOGNIZE YOUR LOVING FACE
HELP US, LORD
HELP US, LORD
