Going Through The Motions (from the CD Communion Bells) Lyrics

Going through the motions

I see it every day

I see it where I work

I see it where I play

I see it where I live

I see it where I pray

I believe in Hitler

Yes I believe in Christ

I believe in hearts on fire

And I believe in souls on ice

I believe in many things

But follow very few

When the feeling goes away

What am I supposed to do

My emotions they go crawling

From the bottom to the top

Sometime pushing, sometimes pulling

Sometimes coming to a stop

But true love it is a motion

Like a wheel that's spinning round

When it spins round to the low side

That's when I'll be found

Going through the motions

Going through the motions

Going through the motions

And sometimes I just can't feel a thing

What am I to live for?

What am I to die for?

What am I to sacrifice when motion comes to

Push and shove

All you need is love, love, love

But money sure doesn't hurt

When you need a place to live

A new phone or a new shirt

But sometimes the 2nd overtakes the 1st

And I find myself trying to quench

Unquenchable thirst

Then some vows that I made

They get broken and fall

And it feels like I'd been better off

If I never would've made those vows at all

But salvation is a motion

Not a one-time thing

What flag will I fly?

And what song will I sing?

When I'm

Going through the motions

Going through the motions

Going through the motions

And sometimes I just can't feel a thing

What am I to live for?

What am I to die for?

What am I to sacrifice when motion comes to

Push and shove

What am I to live for?

What am I to die for?

What am I to sacrifice when motion comes to

Push and shove

Going through the motions

I see it every day

I see it where I work

I see it where I play

See it where I live

See it where I pray

I talk to God about it

And He tells me it's ok
