Life's too short for small talk, so don't be talking trivia now,
Excess baggage fills this plane; there's more than we should ever allow,
There's engines stalling and good men falling, but I ain't crawling away.

I just wanna know, am I pulling people closer'
I just wanna be pulling them to you,
I just wanna stay angry at the evil,
I just wanna be hungry for the true.

Folks play follow the leader, but who's the leader gonna obey'
Will his head get big when the toes get tapping'
I just wanna know are they catching what I say'
I'm a little too young to introspect and I surely haven't paid all my dues,
But there's bear traps lying in those woods, most of 'em already been used.

I just wanna know, am I pulling people closer'
I just wanna be pulling them to you,
I just wanna stay angry at the evil,
I just wanna be hungry for the true.

Oh, search me Father, and know my heart, try me and know my mind,
And if there be any wicked way in me pull me to the rock that is higher than I.

I just wanna know, am I pulling people closer'
I just wanna be pulling them to you,
I just wanna stay angry at the evil,
I just wanna be hungry for the true.
