Lyrics
I see the people I pass by in the streets
I observe people passing by in the streets.
Well nothing but empty looks
These individuals have empty expressions.
I see the people who put trust in who they meet
People trust those they meet, but their lives seem empty.
Well nothing but empty lives
Despite appearances, their lives lack fulfillment.
I don't want to see that
I don't want to witness such emptiness.
I see the faces whose eyes cry out in pain
I see faces reflecting pain with empty souls.
Well nothing but empy souls
These souls seem void of meaning.
Why do I see these people day after day Lord
Questioning why these people are encountered daily.
Just what are you telling me?
Seeking to understand the message or lesson from God.
And than I walk by thinking to myself
Reflecting on the possibility that they may have found a better way.
Just maybe the've seen the way
Considering the idea that they might have discovered a positive path.
Then I turn my head and walk the other way
Choosing to avoid facing the reality or taking responsibility.
The easy way out is such a cop out
Characterizing the easy way out as a weak and evasive choice.
I'm such a fool
Acknowledging personal foolishness or mistakes.
Don't want to hide this hope no more
Expressing a desire not to conceal hope any longer.
So just show me Your way
Requesting guidance in following God's path.
I don't know what I'm afraid of
Admitting uncertainty about the source of fear.
When I got You by my side
Acknowledging the presence of God as a source of strength.
I know I have the cure for this lost world
Believing in possessing the solution for the world's problems.
Why do I run and hide?
Questioning the tendency to run away and avoid.
So here I'm asking You for a little help now
Seeking help from God in a moment of personal struggle.
I'm such a pity all alone
Feeling a sense of self-pity and loneliness.
I need Your love so I can see through Your eyes
Expressing the need for God's love to gain a clearer perspective.
And try to heal those searching lives
Expressing the desire to contribute to the healing of troubled lives.
Why do I lean on my own understanding?
Questioning the reliance on personal understanding.
Why do I put trust in myself?
Wondering why trust is placed in oneself rather than in God.
When You know everything
Recognizing God's omniscience despite personal limitations.
I have the answer and I pretend like I don't it
Having the solution but pretending not to know it.
What makes me so afraid?
Reflecting on the root cause of personal fear.
Just make me realize there's nothing to it
Asking for realization that there's nothing to fear in perfect love.
Ain't got no fear in perfect love
Emphasizing the absence of fear when embraced by perfect love.
So just show me Your way
Requesting guidance to follow God's path.
