Sad Song

What is it we're selling
These pockets full of dreams
Offering prosperity
If they only just believe

We're telling all these people
The things they want to hear
Saying all the things that turn their ears

What is it we're speaking
We're sounding all the same
Pitiful expressions
We've learned to play the game

We're loosing the true meaning
Even when we pray
When we know we should be careful
What we say

So we sing a sad song
When we know it's so wrong
The reality inside we keep
Hidden by our pride and fear

So we sing a sad song
Singing empty words for so long
But a change is gonna start
When we learn to have a humble heart

Sometimes I sit and wonder
If I lived in His day
Would I sit at a table
He turned over in His rage

Am I living out religion
Or have I learned to live by faith
These are the questions that I face

So I sing a sad song
When I know it's so wrong
The reality inside
I keep hidden by my pride and fear

So I sing a sad song
Singing empty words for so long
But it's time I take the blame
And begin to make a change within

But it's time we take the blame
Leave behind the games
And begin to make a change within
