Lyrics

I’ve been searching so long, trying to figure it out
Just why we’re all here, what this world’s all about
I’ve listened so close to the words people said
All religion’s the same, they’d rather be dead and

Somehow I knew that the answer was not with God
Despite what they told me about him in school
I take one look at this world and I see such pain
I realize these actors have made us their fools

I’ve been trying to find all the answers I need
Through people I meet and these books that I read
Some answers were found while more questions appeared
But still I kept on, for it had to be near and

Somehow I knew that the answer was not with God
At least what they told me about him in school
I take one look at this world and I see such pain
I realize these actors have made us their fools

You don’t have to bow down to some idol
Or confess all the pleasures you hide
All you need is a true understanding
Of the person you are deep inside

Some people it seems they will never be free
Despite all they say and despite all they see
They’re locking their doors and they’re hiding their eyes
For fear of the truth, they all cling to their lies

Somehow I knew that the answer was not with God
Despite what they told me about him in school
I take one look at this world and I see such pain
I realize these actors have made us their fools
