I see you passing by
I don't know where
I don't know why...
You choose to go the way that you're goin' now...
You've been a friend of mine for many years for a long time,
But...You just aren't you today,
So what's on your mind...
You just won't speak about it...
Think about it - be about it...
Gotta make yourself aware that you're goin' astray...
You're trying so hard to fit in

What you need is something genuine...
What you want is something real...
What you need is something truthful...
I know you do (3x)
'Cause I need it too...
What you need (2x)
What you want (2x)
What you need (2x)
Something genuine

You cry yourself to sleep-
Sleep night
But once the night is gone...
And you prepare to face a brand new day...
You hide yourself behind that mastermind-
You're in disguise...
It's as if you try to put a mask on your pain

You don't know
Who you are-
What you're about-
Where are you now...
You're becoming someone that you don't want to be...
You're trying so hard to fit in

What you need is something genuine...
What you want is something real...
What you need is something truthful...
I know you do (3x)
'Cause I need it too...
What you need (2x)
What you want (2x)
What you need (2x)
Something genuine

He loves you
For who you are now and who you will be...
Don't fear living in truth there's reality...
I don't have all the answers
But I know One who does...
And I know there's freedom and truth...
I go to Him
Because

What you need is something genuine...
I know you do...
What you need is something
Truthful-genuine...
What you need (2x)
What you want (2x)
What you need (2x)
Something genuine

(What He has is something genuine...
Who He is someone real...
What He gives is something truthful
It's what He has- it's who He is
It's what He gives...
And I need Him too...
What you need (2x)
I need Him too...
What you want (2x)...
What you need (2x)
Something genuine
