Substance

Caught in the race to get ahead Our lives fall out of balance And the choices made to find success Well they start to get the best of us The more we get the more we crave And Nothing satisfies So its time we quit this race And look beyond We search for substance A fight to bring some meaning To have our lives be more Then a grain of sand lost on the beach That's washed away by times embrace A fight to bring some meaning To have our lives be more To have our actions bring a crucial chance That shakes the world And the more we own, the less we have Because the things we buy just weigh us down And distract us from the urgency Of the deeper quest We want our lives to stand for something So we search for, we search for substance We search for substance in our lives
