Are we trying our hardest
To be the best we can?
We don't know the problem
We're tired of trying to solve them
So we sit complacent
And shut off our way of thinking
We escape from reality
But to the chain, we add another link
What's holding us back
From serving the one who set us free?
We need to step back
And turn off this false reality
I hate to turn it on
And see a world gone wrong
Why God's watching over me
Unlocking His wisdom and mercy
Why can't we turn it off
And set our minds on things above?
God, open our eyes
To what you have in store for us
Take these eyes of mine
Away from this unrighteousness
Reveal to me, your straight and narrow path
Break the chain of this unrighteous act
Letting down our guards
Enslaved by images
Trading all our knowledge
For the chance at entertainment
Adding more frustration
To the confusion of our minds
Switching channel to channel
Never knowing what we're going to find
