Jason Lenyer Buchanan - Empty Church

I was raised here, but its not the same
Different buildings, no one knows my name
Same old faces, who are they inside
Empty churches, don't you wonder why
I was younger, so were my friends
We were stupid, times were different then
Did we notice when the changes brought
Empty churches and a parking lot
I'm a fool to think I'm the only one
N'er to grace a church since the day I'was done
When you find out why, you can blame your hurt
On the darkened door of an empty church
Was it music, was the preaching good
And the building, or the neighborhood
Fix the carpet and the parking spaces
Empty churches are prime real estate.
Here's the church, here's the steeple
Open up them doors, where's all the people
Here's the church, here's the steeple
Open up them doors, where's all the people
I'm a fool to think I'm the only one
N'er to grace a church since the day I'was done
When you find out why, you can blame your hurt
On the darkened door of an empty church
Out of money, no one left to blame
Fire the preacher, there's a dollar saved
Keep the lights off when the doors are closed
Empty churches, no one even knows
I'm a fool to think I'm the only one
N'er to grace a church since the day I'was done
When you find out why, you can blame your hurt
On the darkened door of an empty church
Oh, of an empty church
Oh, of an empty church
Oh, of an empty church
Oh, of an empty church
