Buy the Truth

If I had a dime
For every dollar I've wasted
Trying to be happy
I could retire
Because I would be miserably wealthy
Then I'd have the time
To see that I'd thrown out my life
Like the paper
And maybe the time
By God's grace to start it all over

Buy the truth
Though it costs all you have
Buy the truth
Don't ever sell it out
What good is a tool
In the hand of a fool
If you don't buy wisdom?

If I sold You out
I could make enough money
To live for a while
Walk in the room
And important people would smile
Hold my head proud
And know I had made the best
Business decision
Wave at the crowds
Who give me their money
Like it was religion

Buy the truth
Though it costs all you have
Buy the truth
Don't ever sell it out
What good is a tool
In the hand of a fool
If you don't buy wisdom?

Please
Don't make yourself at home
Please
Don't make yourself at home
Please
Don't make yourself at home
Please
Don't make yourself at home
The land of opportunity
And superficiality
Syncretized theology
A compromised reality

God, touch our eyes
Expose the lies
That waste our lives
And block the light
A future hope
That we'll wake up
And see the truth
For what's it's worth

Buy the truth
Though it costs all you have
Buy the truth
Don't ever sell it out
What good is a tool
In the hand of a fool
If you don't buy wisdom?
