From out of the darkness
He walked upon the land
Realized that he was different
And call himself a man

As he grew greater numbers
He spread across the Earth
When he learned to buy and trade and sell
He became a man of worth

Hey -you're not a rich man buyin’
Or just a poor man tryin’
That's just the way you keep yourself amused
You’re not a saintly winner
You're not lost man sinner
Somewhere along the way we got confused

We're Souls of Emotion
Souls of Emotion
Adrift on this ocean
Trying to find love

When he felt his new found power
And he saw what it could bring
He gathered up his knowledge
But he forgot one thing

So he polished up his idols
And he counted up their cost
Then he melted down his sacred cow
As he hammered out a cross

And it pointed him towards heaven
Well at least to greater heights
So he learned to sell religion
Then he bought and sold the rights

Hey - You're not a a rich man buyin’
You're not a poor man tryin’
That's just the way you keep yourself amused

You're not this mask that hides you,
The flesh and blood inside you
Somewhere along the way we got confused

We're Souls of Emotion,
Souls of Emotion,
Adrift on this ocean
Trying to find love

Don't build your temples out of steel and stone
To try and sanctify this flesh and bone

We're Souls of Emotion,
Souls of Emotion,
Adrift on this ocean
On our way home
