i need a life

i'm looking down

come help me up

and stumbling 'round

trying to fill my cup

it's half empty

been that way all my life

so come pour some in

and take me out tonight

the sun is shining but we stay inside

oh but we go out at night

we stay in looking for a better life

oh but we go out at night

we put up curtains

block out the light

oh but we go out at night

and we stay in bed until we feel all right

oh but we go out at night

i need meaning

i need a mission

i need a path

i need conviction

i need a life i've never had

i need much more good & much less bad

the sun is shining but we stay inside

oh but we go out at night

we stay in looking for a better life

oh but we go out at night

we put up curtains

block out the light

oh but we go out at night

and we stay in bed until we feel all right

oh but we go out at night

i found meaning

i found a mission

i found a lord

i found religion

i found something i never had

i'm not sure what but it's not half bad

and i'm glad

i'm so

so glad

those party habits are gone & dead

i'm turning in my old sinful ways

for a dull new life so i can pray

pray

pray

the sun is shining but we stay inside

oh but we go out at night

we stay in looking for a better life

oh but we go out at night

we put up curtains

block out the light

oh but we go out at night

and we stay in bed until we feel all right

oh but we go out at night

i need a life

i've never had

i need so much more good

lord

and much less bad
