I'm just gonna be real
And tell you exactly how I feel
This life has been a steal
And so there's not a single emotion I conceal
I mean, what's the deal?
I watch as my friends turn into slippery eels
More and more I being to see what is and what's fake
It's almost more than I can take
When I look to those I love for a break
They just remind me that life is not a piece of cake
It does nothing to help my heart that aches
I feel a sense of despair
I have been betrayed and regarded as thin air
I look for Christ in those who claim to know Him well
And yet it is an act they simply cannot sell
Every piece of my soul moves to yell
It is an act they simply cannot sell
In those I once placed my trust
I now feel regarded with disgust
The world has many things to offer
But one thing it lacks is satisfaction
It scoffs and scorns our every action
All the while giving a false sense of traction
By my friends I have been forsaken
What is this foul path they have taken?
I looked for Christ in those I love
But found Christ only comes from above
It is for the King alone that I will sing
For He surpasses everything
To the King these troubles I will bring
For He alone brings peace to everything
Hope in the world is a hope that is lost
Hope in the King is a hope without cost
I looked for Christ in those I love
But instead found Christ waiting with open arms above
The world will disappoint
But Christ will anoint
I cherish those who seem not to cherish me
Christ cherishes beyond what I can see
I looked for Christ in those I love
But only truly found Christ in the hope above.
