Hear the echoes in the stately halls
Whirring of computers behind sterile walls
Diplomatic circles spinning 'round
Empty hollow choruses they all call profound
"The answer's within you
Everything will be all right
We could get together
If we could just forget to fight"
You know somehow it's just not true
It could work for others but not for you
Then you think that we're alone
Man really has no home
The earth is just an island in the sea
And we dream of what we could never be
A peaceful self-governing society
There's a part missing from all mankind
We're a broken people that cannot find
The answer's not in us
If it was it's gone away
We're a wayward people
Blind we've lost our way
So we dream of new governments
And rely on our accomplishments
Empty hollow choruses without honesty
We're a dying people, why can't we see
Then we feel we do not die
To discover the beyond we do not try
We imagine a god of our own
Empty hollow choruses in the church yard rings
Hardly the expectant waiting for their King
New life within them has somehow died
Somewhere beyond a different voice cries
I'm waiting for you
My truth is still the same
I'll give a true direction
If you just call my name
I said if you just call my name
