Lyrics:

Emptiness consuming me Head in hands, I can hardly speak looking for solitude, Lost in humanity True knowledge leads to suffering A constant quest an endless dream Searching for inner peace, hidden so deep in me Don't wanna be a hollow man Ain't gonna be the hollow man Don't wanna be a hollow man Ain't gonna be the hollow man Sadness comes knocking constantly Filling up my eyes, for all to see Peace will come some day, I pray that it finds a way Darkness caressing my mind and soul My spirits rejecting, I'm feeling whole Emptiness goes away, fills with the light of day Don't wanna be a hollow man Ain't gonna be the hollow man Don't wanna be a hollow man Ain't gonna be the hollow man I rise up like the pheonix from the ashes of an older way With wisdom gained, I turn away, I turned away Hollow man, find yourself some other Plan Don't wanna be a hollow man Ain't gonna be the hollow man Don't wanna be a hollow man Ain't gonna be the hollow man
