The Way

Earth revolving, spinning relentless Like my mind around these problems that are endless Just when I think I can solve them They keep growing and changing, Falling just outside my reach like a dream that I’m chasing Searching for a way out, but still scared of these changes Feeling like I’m trapped, like the mice in their cages Looking for the truth but nothing in this world can make a difference Living a life filled with emptiness Where else do I turn? Please help me put an end to this All the world looks to themselves, thinking they can find the answers We have to cut it out, have to get rid of this cancer Money, power, greed, people think this makes the world go round And that’s the reason why all the murder, rape, and lies abound But I can tell you something so just listen up, don’t make a sound That Jesus is the truth, the only one, no others can be found Hung up on the cross, bullied beaten killed, all for our sins But no one seems to care, we’d rather dwell on all our worldly things He wants to save us all, we just need to let him pull the strings We’re puppets in his world, not the leaders, he’s the only king Salvation is his goal, into heaven, as if we had wings So lay your problems at his feet, once bloodied hands will guide your way With all that’s black and white, and all those many shades of gray He’s the only one who won’t lie, will never lead you astray If you want to see the light, and make the darkness go away Then listen, close your eyes, and get down on your knees and pray
