Why don't we take a stand against the fear
That rules the hearts of men'
They're crushed and broken by the weight of sin
Do our lives point the way to him'

We're full of knowledge, we're so well fed
Our churches are crowded, but our witness is dead
We say that we're living and pointing the way
But if you look around
you'll see nothing's really changed

We're just going through the motions
Going through the motions
Where is the devotion'
I said we're going through (going through)
Going through the motions

Where, oh, where are the tears in the night
The cries of repentance for a holier life'
Our hearts are hardened and our worship is cold
Our faith is weak because our prayers are old

We need a fire to fall from above
And set us aflame with a passionate love
That burns for our Father and cares for the lost
But I don't really think we've ever counted the cost

We're still going through the motions
Going through the motions
Where is the devotion'
Oh, we're going through (going through)
Going through the motions

I said we need a fire to fall from above
And set us aflame with a passionate love
We say that we're living and pointing the way
But if you look around
You'll see nothing's really changed

Going through the motions
Going through the motions
Where is the devotion'
Oh, when we're going through (going through)
Going through, going through the motions
I'm going through the motions, the fallen sons
I said, Where is the devotion'
When we're just going through (going through)
Going through the motions
(fade)
