Lyrics

Lost in the Noise

Yeah, I’ve got plenty of
	Food  to eat.
And I’ve got seven pairs of shoes for two feet.
But I want more, yeah I want more.

And I can sit here and I can watch my TV,
And I can say that I don’t like what I see,
And still I want more, yeah I want more.

Now I know that these commercials all lie,
But still I never ask myself why I want more,
I just want more.
But I remember a meadow and boys,
And using cattails and branches for our toys
Completely unaware of the noise…
	Of the world turning around.
Now I’m like the man that put his gold in the ground,
Then stared at it so long that he forgot what he found.
Sometimes I just get lost in the sound…
	Of the world turning around.

A slab of granite…
	So cold and gray.
Adorned with all the words he would say
If he had more, if he had more.

All my neighbors walk on heaven’s plain,
Do you think they’re content or do they want the same?
Do they want more? 
Do they want more?

Lord all mighty… our God on high,
Gets what he wants with one blink of his eye…
Does he want more?
I just don’t know.
But I remember a meadow and boys,
And using cattails and branches for our toys
Completely unaware of the noise…
	Of the world turning around.
Now I’m like the man that put his gold in the ground,
Then stared at it so long that he forgot what he found.
Sometimes I just get lost in the sound…
	Of the world turning around.
