"I Want" by Face to Face

Everybody wants the truth
But everybody lies
Everybody wants some proof
But everybody's blind
So open up your eyes

I really don't know much of anything at all
But I'll admit we're all the same
You ask forgiveness and you make the same mistakes
And I'll admit we're all the same

I want to know
Do these words mean anything? 
How can this life mean more than what it seems? 

Everybody wants equality
But we're all prejudice
We're all hypocrites
Everybody wants the world
But we have nothing

I really don't know much of anything at all
But I'll admit we're all the same
You ask forgiveness and you make the same mistakes
And I'll admit we're all the same

I want to know
Do these words mean anything? 
How can this life mean more than what it seems?
