This World

There's tarnish on my Golden Rule
And I wanna jump from this ship of fools
Show me a place where hope is young
And a people who are not afraid to love

This world has nothing for me, and this world has everything
All that I could want and nothing that I need

This world is making me drunk on the spirits of fear
So when You say, "Who will go?" I am nowhere near

But the least of these look like criminals to me
so I leave Christ on the street

This world has held my hand and has led me into intolerance
So now I'm breaking up, I'm waking up, I'm making up for lost time

This world has nothing for me and this world has everything
All that I could want and nothing that I need
