rushing towards oblivion like lemmings to the sea
we stumble through this lifetime and call it being free
yeah but knowing where you're going and who you're meant to be
that's what freedom means to me

we're all born with a hunger we just can't seem to feed
yet all the things we struggle for are not the things we need
but the man who seeks the lord of life will find his life indeed
satisfaction guaranteed

don't eat of that bad fruit
don't drink of that sweet wine
it may look great from a distance but it gets you every time

don't wait for tomorrow
grab hold of that lifeline
there's Someone who's dying to love you
and He sings the sweetest song
and that's where you belong

history repeats itself our troubles never end
and each new generation just fouls it up again
well you'd think that we'd get awfully tired
of going where we've been
what a shabby state we're in

love can fill the hole in your soul
watch your life begin again
come and let the Master take control
open your heart you've found a Friend

don't eat of that bad fruit
don't drink of that sweet wine
it may look great from a distance but it gets you every time

don't wait for tomorrow
grab hold of that lifeline
there's Someone dying to love you
and He sings the sweetest song
