Your walls are made of gold, but the floor is dust and stone
Your altar gleams so brightly, yet the soul feels all alone
Those who bear the heaviest cross don't always find a prayer
For the bread upon your table leaves the heart in deep despair
How many saints forget the ones who linger in the cold
While those who share the little shine with light as pure as gold
Your church is not more sacred than the voice that calls a name
For greater than the prayer is sharing bread with hunger's pain
No bell, no sacred ringing, can erase the cries of need
If faith does not embrace the ones whose broken hearts still bleed
The word may echo loudly, but deaf ears refuse to hear
While heaven's promised treasures leave the poor to disappear
To plant faith in dry soil is to forget what roots must be
For hunger builds a temple where God weeps eternally
How many souls have vanished, waiting for compassion's hand
While marble-clad altars let their sorrows still withstand
Your church is not more sacred than the voice that calls a name
For greater than the prayer is sharing bread with hunger's pain
No bell, no sacred ringing, can erase the cries of need
If faith does not embrace the ones whose broken hearts still bleed
Stone saints will never suffer, but the little ones still weep
While tables overflow, their pleas are buried deep
Today the real miracle is not to multiply the bread
The true divine wonder is to share what keeps us fed
Your church is not more sacred than the voice that calls a name
For greater than the prayer is sharing bread with hunger's pain
No bell, no sacred ringing, can erase the cries of need
If faith does not embrace the ones whose broken hearts still bleed
