I Just Wanna Know - Steve Taylor

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 trap lying in those woods

Most of 'em already been used

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
