If God is my father and you are my brother
Then why can't we bother to love one another?
Why do we keep on acting the way we do?
The way we treat each other it just breaks my heart in two

Once we were happy, oh, yes, once in the garden
But then a lie broke the stillness
And our hearts began to harden

And hoping to be wiser, man has reached too far
Sometimes I think that we've advanced
But then I look at where we are

Sipping whiskey from a paper cup
You drown your sorrows till you can't stand up
Take a look at what you've done to yourself
Why don't you put the bottle back on the shelf?

Yellow fingered from your cigarettes
Your hands are shaking while your body sweats
Why don't you look into Jesus
He's got the answer

Think back to when you were a child
Your soul was free, your heart ran wild
Each day was different and life was a thrill
You knew tomorrow would be better still
But things have changed, you're much older now
If you're unhappy and you don't know how
Why don't you look into Jesus

Work all night, sleep all day
You take your money, throw it all away
You say you're gonna be a superstar
But you've never hung around enough
To find out who you really are

Why don't you look into Jesus
He's got the answer
