You held their interest for a long, long time
Caught their eyes with your looks and sounds
In your songs, you speak of love
But still, they never change
In your hands the keys to freedom
In your heart the ways to life
Why won't you give a reason for letting them die

What are you singing
What are you saying
Tell me, I've got to know
What are you playing for
What are you singing
What are you saying
There's got to be something more
Than what you're living for

And late at night, when you close your eyes
You see the sick and the wounded lives
The fear of failure is strong
You know it can't go on
It's in those times when you know He's near
Your heart is torn by the words you hear
You long for freedom and change
This isn't a game
What are you singing
What are you saying
Tell me, I've got to know
What are you playing for
What are you singing
What are you saying
There's got to be something more
Than what you're living for

Over and over
You had the chance to help them
Over and over
You turned and walked away

How can you hear them crying
And still never give them the life
They're looking for
How, when you see them dying
Can you still walk away
Without giving them more

How can you hear them crying
And still never give them the life
They're looking for
(Oh, Jesus)
How, when you see them dying
Can you still walk away
Without giving them more
(They need Jesus)
What are you singing
What are you saying
(Oh, they need Jesus)
Tell me, I've got to know
What are you playing for
(They need Jesus)
What are you singing
What are you saying
(They need Jesus)

(They need Jesus)
What are you singing
What are you saying
(They need Jesus)
Tell me, I've got to know
What are you playing for
(They need Jesus)
What are you singing
What are you saying
(They need Jesus)
There's got to be something more
Than what you're living for...
