When Nothing’s Sacred

People need true love but chase infatuation
They need a hope but live n short supply
And people need wisdom but get more education
People need forgiveness but settle things eye for eye
People need identity but are satisfied with titles
They need true courage but bravado looks sincere
People need a living God but seem content with idols
People need a destiny but settle for careers

And the soul remains unsettled
And the world a wilderness
In a time when nothing's sacred
And souls settle for less

People need faith but place their bets on science
They need a refuge but stay out in the rain
People need each other but rely on self-reliance
People need a Christmas but settle for a holiday
People need dignity but survive on ego
They need the Truth but will take an alibi
People need a Savior but much prefer a hero
Most long for heaven but have settled for the sky

And the soul remains unsettled
And the world a wilderness
In a time when nothing's sacred
And souls settle for less
And souls settle for less
