The nieghbours just next door have a look that I have seen before,
Was it on my TV screen or in a magazine?
Reminds me of the face: someone starving in a distant place,
A lonely, inward stare that says that no one's there left to care.

They need the bread of life, manna from on high,
They need the bread of life, so they will really live, and not live to die,
The hope that he can give is a change that comes inside,
So, when we come to him, his Spirit will abide in the bread of life.

Starvation of a soul is very real and takes its toll, afflicting anyone who doesn't know the Son,
The case may be near; it might be the one that you hold dear,
It's up to you to intercede and bring the hope they need,
We've got to plant the seed.

They need the bread of life, manna from on high,
They need the bread of life, so they will really live, and not live to die,
The hope that he can give is a change that comes inside,
So, when we come to him, his Spirit will abide in the bread of life.

Take a look around, listen to the sound of people crying for the bread of life,
Don't turn your head, but meet the need instead,
They're wandering alone, and you can bring them home.

They need the bread of life, manna from on high,
They need the bread of life, so they will really live, and not live to die,
The hope that he can give is a change that comes inside,
So, when we come to him, his Spirit will abide in the bread of life,
They need the bread of life, manna from on high,
They need the bread of life, so they will really live, and not live to die,
The hope that he can give is a change that comes inside,
So, when we come to him, his Spirit will abide in the bread of life,
They need the bread of life, manna from on high,
They need the bread of life, so they will really live, and not live to die.
