How Can You Live

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Are you climbing the walls but the walls are too high

Do you fall to the ground when you reach for the sky

Does the picture you have in your mind never turn out right

Do the things that you do leave a hole in your soul

Is the best you can do always short of the goal

And the way it's supposed to be just never is

(Chorus)

How can you live when nothing's there

Something is gone inside you now

Look to the Word that says it all

Everything will turn out fine

Does the fly in the ointment get under your skin

Have you had quite enough of the state that you're in

Are you living in style but you find that it leave you cold

And the years of your life are just drifting away

There is nothing to feel, you have nothing to say

But the emptiness on your heart is getting old

(Chorus)

Does your social position reflect who you are

Does the face in the mirror look back from afar

And the look in your eyes is of someone you don't know

So you're trying to cope with the world on your own

And you're still unaware that the way has been shown

And the doorway of hope is standing open wide

(Chorus)
