The lyrics contrast these fleeting pursuits with the lasting truth and fulfillment found in God. Maher expresses a deep need for Jesus to fill the inner void and affirm his value, moving from a sense of being lost to a plea for divine truth and presence.

Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
Riding down the streets of envy
Looking for some recognition
What would make me really happy:
If they desired my position
Prom time princess, beauty queen
See all the admiring faces
Chasing after blind ambition
They don't see the King of heaven's graces
'Cause what I need is You, what I need is truth
Can someone tell me that for a change?
Nothing ever holds in a world lukewarm
So come and fill the empty space inside of me
Wish upon a falling star
And dream of your perfection
It fades away held up against your failures
And dying to self opinion
'Cause what I need is You, what I need is truth
Can someone tell me that for a change?
Nothing ever holds in a world lukewarm
So come and fill the empty space inside of me
Of me
Beauty's on the late-night T.V.
Showing off the next big thing
Turn it off, I'm lost
I forgot who I was
Jesus won't you tell me I'm worth something?
'Cause what I need is You, what I need is truth
Can someone tell me that for a change?
Nothing ever holds in a world lukewarm
So come and fill the empty space inside of me
What I need is You, what I need is truth
Can someone tell me that for a change?
Nothing ever holds in a world lukewarm
So come and fill the empty space inside of me
