Lyrics
Verse 1:
Oh, you can live your life for prosperity
Making money hand over fist
And you might even think that nothing is better
But in heaven, money really won?t be missed
Chorus:
To live the good life
You gotta live beyond this world
So fear God and do what He says?
?Cause this is the final word?
Verse 2:
Or you can live your life for power
Changing lives with the sound of your voice
And you might even think that no one is better
But six feet in the ground, no one hears a sound?
Chorus
Bridge:
It?s upside down in His world, all turned around from ours
Where the losers are the winners, and the weak have all the power
The prisoners are all set free, the broken ones are embraced
We?ve gotta live every day here on earth as if heaven were in its place?
CHORUS (2 times)
