Void In My Heart

There's a void in my heart

I can't seem to fill.

Been a parent, had three children,

And a big house on the hill.

Hundred dollar in my pocket,

And it didn't buy a thing.

Now there's a void in my heart

And a hole in my dreams.

Well, I poured miles of concrete

And strung wire for telephones,

Dug ditches when I was a young boy;

When I first left my parents' home.

Sang my songs for millions of people;

Sang good and bad news.

Now there's a void in my heart

And a fire at my fuse.

Well, I did everything just like they said

So I could find happiness.

Went to school and got a college degree,

And at my job I did my best.

As I sit here alone, tonight,

I see a billion just like me,

With a void in their hearts and running from eternity.

There's a void in my heart I can't seem to fill.

I do charity work when I believe in the cause,

But in my soul it bothers me still.

Hey, Lord, well, you made me like I am;

Can you heal this restlessness?

Will there be a void in my heart

When they carry me out to rest?
