Empty

Your heart seeks love

For it fills your life with passion

And love is what it finds

But you are still empty

 

Your mind seeks knowledge

And through the world you search

Now worldly knowledge lights your path

But still you are empty

 

Your body seeks strength

Because weakness is failure

Now you can lift up the world

But still you are empty

 

Your soul seeks salvation

But you are filled with worldly knowledge

Your mind ignores your soul

And still....you are empty
