I sit at night anxiously filling my time
With nothing important or pressing to do
It seems my life is wasted
Time better spent and more prepared
 There is but one thing matters
 One thing that should hold my focus
 But instead I push it down and move around
 No no I don't have time tonight
 This show is on, I need to make a comment
 We munch on snacks hoping to fill the emptiness
 We compare and judge others so we can feel great 
Our attitude is better than theirs so we know we're safe
 We must be able to accomplish it all, hurry, don't be late
 We expect perfection and it's okay to complain
 As long as we fit in
 Don't shine your light or stand out, no one likes a show off 
Your life isn't perfect so why do you wear a smile
 Be like us, act like you have it all, tired with no hope 
We like to pretend and we'll be your friend til the end
 We love the stuff that can make us happy
 Spend while you can, you deserve it anyways
 No one appreciates you so why not 
 God couldn't love me, if He's seen what I've done
 I don't like myself, I don't like anyone, I feel so alone
 I try and try but still I'm empty inside
 God doesn't even know me, so why would He care
 But He does love you, He wants you as you are
 He loves you more than you could ever know
 He's been with you since before you were born
 The emptiness you feel
 Is the longing to have Jesus in your heart
 You just have to invite Him in 
 His Kingdom is your inheritance
 His forgiveness came with a cost, 
 Salvation can be ours
 Because Jesus did His part
