Man Does Not Live

The news came via satellite
From a far off crying land
Where millions are starving and dying
Nobody cares to understand
My heart sank down to my feet
As I looked deep in a baby's eyes
I said, "Man does not live, he just survives"

The struggle for the dollar
Will it ever seem to end?
We've grown thirsty for more power
Our freedom's gotten out of hand
We say we're in search for the truth
But we've exchanged it for a lie
Man does not live, he just survives

We've rejected the only answer
We continue to laugh in the face of God
And we've been living like
There will never be a tomorrow
Oh, the truth, it can humble you
As your world continues to crumble
It'll bring you down

We decorate the churches
But forgotten about the soul
So many hearts are fading
So many "saints" are turning cold
We've been living as a wayward wife
We should be acting as a bride
But man does not live, he just survives
Man does not live, he just survives

Man does not live, he survives
Man does not live, he survives
Man does not live, he survives
