Hollow Dream

Intro:
Why does it still feel empty? Why do I still feel empty?
Why does it still feel empty? Why do I still feel empty?

Chorus:
I’ve got it all, but I’m still feeling empty. Why does it feel empty?
Living the dream, but it still feels empty. Why do I feel empty?
I thought with all these things and the world in my hands, I’d feel fulfilled, cruising around the globe.
I thought with all I’ve got while travelling the world, I’d feel fulfilled and enjoy this life.

Verse 1:
Something feels off, like a part of me is missing.
I can hear the sound of my heart beating.
Though it’s not dark yet, I still feel scared.
Why, with all these many friends, do I still feel lonely? Chorus

Verse 2:
I was busy chasing the world and its façade.
I felt the absence of light deep inside.
Lacking that touch of pure love throughout my life,
Lacking that pure love from You, Lord—come into my life. Chorus

Outro:
Why does it still feel empty? Why do I still feel empty?
Why does it still feel empty? Why do I still feel empty?
