Watching your life pass you by
Contented with what you see?
Watching and waiting in disarray
What is your reason to be?
You're running away
You're cold and scared
But what are you trying to flea?
You run from the world
Who run from the word
That is, was and ever shall be
Chorus:
The word is sharp
It cuts like a knife
It slices your soul
But it gives you life
It's sharper by far than a two-edged sword
But you must proclaim him Lord
You search for the answers
To the questions
You cannot seem to find
But there's one place
To learn the lessons
For your heart and soul and mind
It's not in the papers or on MTV
It's not in Newsweek or Time
It's been written down
It's in black & white
It's been laid on the line
(Chorus)
