She goes around switching on lamps
'Cause the light, she tells me, is coming in slanted
I can't get enough
Of the beauty alive behind the shadows
Why have I gone hungry?
I've gone hungry
In a land of plenty
Feed your soul
Feed your soul
If you are empty and you want to be whole
Feed your soul
On bread and water
Truth and silence, all sons and daughters
Feed your soul
The heart cries, but the body growls
And the appetite of the flesh is louder than we thought
Let the flickering flame of our appointed days
Not thirst, nor die
But grow brighter
And when a longing haunts you
Feed your soul
Feed your soul
If you are empty and you want to be whole
Feed your soul
On bread and water
Truth and silence, all sons and daughters
Feed your soul
Hope born of promise
That will not disappoint
That will not end in shame
You’ve got to cultivate the taste
For the rich and true
For the goodness you
Have always craved
Feed your soul
Feed your soul
If you are empty and you want to be whole
Feed your soul
On bread and water
Truth and silence
All sons and daughters
Feed your soul
Feed your soul
If you are empty, though your days are full
If you are empty, though your house is full
If you are empty, though your pockets are full
Feed your soul, feed your soul
