Lyrics=
Rich man always thinks that his life will never end
You can’t negotiate with death.
One day you run out of breath
And God was always there to see if you’d catch on
But you never did and now... all you had is gone
No... you never did, and now all you had is gone
The World she shakes and shudders like an animal in pain
Like a woman giving birth... who will never be the same
Out of suffering and trial comes the poetry of life
All the things we’re chasing have only brought us strife
All the things you struggle for will drown you in the water
of your own confusions and... there will be no quarter
The monsters you should fear do not have claws and teeth
Your weakness and your hungers are what bring your soul to grief
The savior comes to lift you out of what you’ve fallen in,
to teach your heart to bow before you take it on the chin.
The pride of life makes us believe we’re better than the foe
that we create inside our minds each time we think we know
Jesus came to show the way to master time and fate
to be humble and contrite and let love conquer hate
To take the smaller profit and to share with one and all
It’s hard to be convincing when you’re up against the wall
Sometimes winners lose when they can’t go back again
When their need to have it all costs them every friend
What makes your life worth living is not the things you get
When you give yourself away... it cancels all your debt
The savior comes to lift you out of what you’ve fallen in,
to teach your heart to bow before you take it on the chin.
The pride of life makes us believe we’re better than the foe
that we create inside our minds each time we think we know
Christmas is the soul of giving and the spirit of release
Sometimes very little... makes a memorable feast
If you can give yourself away and never count the cost
God will give you everything you ever thought you’d lost
Look at the world we live in now. How hard it is, how cold
This is how a miser lives while hoarding all his gold
They build their bunkers deep. They are desperate to survive
They think they will be saved when catastrophe arrives
The world is ruled by magic and dark hearts on the wind,
and you will never find your way back to where you’ve been
Everything is different now, as soon as you are gone
The past is not the same, and... it has moved on
The savior comes to lift you out of what you’ve fallen in,
to teach your heart to bow before you take it on the chin.
The pride of life makes us believe we’re better than the foe
that we create inside our minds each time we think we know
The pride of life makes us believe we’re better than the foe
that we create inside our minds each time we think we know
