Busy Going Nowhere | Lyric Video | Kenny Burge

“Busy Going Nowhere” asks why we sometimes treat exhaustion as evidence of success. Are we moving toward something meaningful, or simply running faster in circles? Maybe a productive life is not one that does the most, but one that knows what deserves a yes—and what needs a no. Martha was busy while Mary chose what mattered most. The problem was not that Martha was working; it was that her busyness pulled her away from the better priority—Jesus. Are we sometimes doing the same? “Busy Going Nowhere” is the 4th track from Kenny Burge’s upcoming album, A Big Hot Mess, coming in fall 2026. The album features 15 original songs dealing honestly with Christian culture, faith, family, and everyday life.

LYRICS Overpriced Coffee keys in hand Ten different stops and a hundred plans One more drop off one more haul Doing everything but really nothing at all Some call it productive to never sit still But being busy doesn't mean you're doing God's will You're so busy going nowhere Who are you trying to impress here Doing more leaves you stressed Mistaking motion for success You're so busy going nowhere Making life a mess here Don't waste life running everywhere You're so busy going nowhere Start ten things but finish two Then wonder why nothing's breaking through Stretched so thin can't do one thing well But “I've been crazy busy” sounds good to tell Saying “if you had more time you'd be fine” Yet poor stewardship won't manifest more time You're so busy going nowhere You're so busy going nowhere Who are you trying to impress here Doing more leaves you stressed Mistaking motion for success You're so busy going nowhere Making life a mess here Don't waste life running everywhere You're so busy going nowhere Nowhere Nowhere You're so busy going… A million little jobs keep you occupied Keeping real purpose pushed aside Focus means learning to say no Pick one road let the others go You can keep every option and never decide Or choose where you're going and finally arrive Martha had a house full of guests Mary chose the one thing that was best Not everything urgent deserves your time Not every open door was meant to be mine You're so busy going nowhere Who are you trying to impress here Doing more leaves you stressed Mistaking motion for success You're so busy going nowhere Making life a mess here Don't waste life running everywhere You're so busy going nowhere So busy going nowhere So busy going nowhere Nowhere CONNECT Pastor Kenny’s Classroom: https://pastorkennysclassroom.com Colmar Manor Bible Church: https://www.colmarmanorbiblechurch.com/ Father & Son Pastoral Podcast:    / @colmarmanorbiblechurch   Written and produced by Kenny Burge. © 2026 Kenny Burge.
