How Can You Live

Are you climbing the walls
But the walls are too high
Do you fall to the ground
When you reach for the sky
Does the picture you have in your mind
Never turn out right
Do the things that you do
Leave a hole in your soul
Is the best you can do
Always short of the goal
And the way it's supposed to be
Just never is

How can you live when nothing's there
Something is gone inside you now
Look to the Word that says it all
Everything will turn out fine

Does the fly in the ointment
Get under your skin
Have you had quite enough
Of the state that you're in
Are you living in style
But you find that it leaves you cold
And the years of your life
Are just drifting away
You have nothing to feel
You have nothing to say
But the emptiness on your heart
Is getting old

How can you live when nothing's there
(How can you live)
Something is gone inside you now
(You know that something is gone)
Look to the Word that says it all
Everything will turn out fine

There ain't no reason to doubt
'Cause there's no living without it
I know it's hard to believe it
Somehow you've got to receive it

Does your social position
Reflect who you are
Does the face in the mirror
Look back from afar
And the look in your eyes
Is of someone you don't know
So you're trying to cope
With the world on your own
And you're still unaware
That the way has been shown
And the doorway of hope
Is standing open wide

How can you live when nothing's there
(How can you live)
Something is gone inside you now
(Something is gone)
Look to the Word that says it all
Everything will turn out fine

(How can you live)
How can you live when nothing's there
(You know that something is gone)
Something is gone inside you now
(You gotta look to the Word)
Look to the Word that says it all
Everything will turn out fine...
