Out There Searching

We're all out there searching
For something on which to spend our time
To make us all feel better
As we move on down the line

With all these newfangled religions
Popping up like temple gardens in Kathmandu
No wonder there's so many people
Out there without a clue

With every New Age Preacher
Spouting off they know the way
Leading their blind believers
Into the pit with what they say

Where they don't need to dig any deeper
Not to overly concerned with right or wrong
Just nodding to the rhythm 
Like you would a Justin Timberlake Top 40 song

All the time hoping when you die
That you've been good enough
No explanations or reasons why
You feel that way because

It's in our human nature 
To always want for more
Needing questions answered
Of what the afterlife holds in store

So if you feel unsatisfied 
In the search that your life is on
Pick up the good book, the Bible
And start off at page One
