Shallow Faith...

‎ ‎**(Verse 1)** ‎I’m not tired from the work I do ‎It’s the noise in my head, the world I knew ‎Everyone’s shouting, claiming they’re right ‎Turning the sacred into a fight ‎Why are they praying, yet burning with hate? ‎Why is the heart so heavy and straight? ‎**(Chorus)** ‎Because they’re stuck on the surface, just the skin ‎Using God’s name to let the ego in ‎True love for the Divine doesn’t make you proud ‎It makes you kind, and soft, and un-loud ‎If you’re hurting others, then you’ve lost your way ‎You’re just loving yourself, whatever you say. ‎**(Verse 2)** ‎Is this what it means to be holy and wise? ‎To hide in the dark with a mask on your eyes? ‎"No," you told me, "that’s just a lonely soul ‎Cleaning the heart is the only goal." ‎Don’t be a judge, don’t be a fear-driven blade ‎God isn't waiting for the mistakes you’ve made. ‎**(Bridge)** ‎People use religion to cover their scars ‎They trade the light of grace for iron bars ‎When faith loses love, it turns into power ‎A bitter weed in a beautiful flower. ‎**(Outro)** ‎Don’t be so busy acting “pure” and “right” ‎Just be a little mercy in the middle of the night ‎Stop the hate, let the anger go ‎Be a little grace, and watch it grow. ‎Just be a little grace. ‎ ‎
