[Introduction] You're feeling disconnected And searching for a way To rise unto a higher plane And find a way to stay. Too much or too little, You can't seem to find the middle. And even if you could, To hold onto it, there is no way….. I can promise that the drugs and drink will not help you, as you think. You'll only be far more depressed, I'm sure. You may think that you'll escape The struggles that come day by day, But in the long run you cannot endure. [Pre-chorus] What you need is something drugs can never give you. And alcohol will never take you there…. He knows that you will stumble. You must rise each time you fall. Repent and he'll forgive you. He is loving, over all. What you need is God above, To feel his presence and his love….. [Interlude] Drugs and drink won't hold a candle to the Spirit. Pray for revelation and you may soon hear it…. What you need is God above, To feel his presence and his love….. He wants to help, and you must only ask. Do the very best you can To obey his holy plan And you'll reap the benefit of the task. If you want it, you must ask….. [Modal change] No artificial substance will ever take the place Of the Spirit that comes from the Lord. If you'll give up all your sin And begin to trust in him, You will find that he keeps his word. [Resolve mode] He knows that you will stumble. You must rise each time you fall. Repent and he'll forgive you. He is loving, over all. What you need is God above, To feel his presence and his love….. [Outro]
