There's a void in my heart
|
I can't seem to fill.
|
Been a parent, had three children
|
And a big house on the hill.
|
Hundred dollar in my pocket
|
And it didn't buy a thing.
|
Now there's a void in my heart
|
And a hole in my dreams.
|
|
Well I poured miles of concrete
|
And strung wire for telephones,
|
Dug ditches when I was a young boy
|
When I first left my parents' home.
|
Sang my songs for millions of people,
|
Sang good and bad news,
|
Now there's a void in my heart
|
And a fire at my fuse.
|
|
Well I did everything just like they said
|
So I could find happiness.
|
Went to school and got a college degree
|
And at my job I did my best.
|
As I sit here alone tonight
|
I see a billion just like me
|
With a void in their hearts and running from eternity.
|
|
There's a void in my heart I can't seem to fill.
|
I do charity work when I believe in the cause
|
But in my soul it bothers me still.
|
Hey, Lord, well you made me like I am.
|
Can You heal this restlessness?
|
Will there be a void in my heart
|
When they carry me out to rest?
