HOLLOW MAN

I HAD A WIFE AND FAMILY I LOVED AND THEY LOVED ME
BUT THERE WAS SOMETHING MISSING
I WONDERED WHAT IT COULD BE
THOUGH I WAS RICH ENOUGH TO BUY THE WORLD
IT WAS JUST A BARREN LAND
CAUSE WAY DOWN DEEP INSIDE OF ME I WAS A HOLLOW MAN

I WAS AN EMPTY VESSEL JUST LONGING TO BE FILLED
I THREW IN HOUSES, CARS, THE MOON AND STARS
BUT I WAS EMPTY STILL
WHY COULDN’T I BE SATISFIED NO I DIDN’T UNDERSTAND
I HAD A GOD SHAPED HOLE INSIDE OF ME
I WAS A HOLLOW MAN

IF YOUR LIFE IS BUILT ON WORLDLY THINGS YOU’RE HEADED FOR A FALL
CAUSE THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN LIFE AIN’T A THING AT ALL
YOU BETTER DO SOME THINKING GET A BRAND NEW MASTER PLAN
TIL YOU’RE FILLED WITH LOVE FROM GOD ABOVE
YOU’LL BE A HOLLOW MAN     

I WAS AN EMPTY VESSEL JUST LONGING TO BE FILLED
I THREW IN HOUSES, CARS, THE MOON AND THE STARS BUT I WAS EMPTY STILL
WHY COULDN’T I BE SATISFIED NO I DIDN’T UNDERSTAND
I HAD A GOD SHAPED HOLE INSIDE OF ME I WAS A HOLLOW MAN

NOW IN HIS WILL I AM FULFILLED
I’M NO LONGER A HOLLOW MAN
