Story Behind The Song
This world makes me sad... it has ever since I've been in it. A lot of people are just in it for themselves. What about our kids and their kids? What kind of place are we leaving for them?

Lyrics
Life is Not About You
Shane Baker ©2005 SRu594-957
Believe it or not
your life is not about you
Not about your city
or the color of your shoes
Its about what you say
and all the things you do
The way you help your fellow man
Your life is not about you
Your life is not about you
Oh believe me its true
All the things you wanna do
Shouldn?t be about you
We are stewards of the Earth
Her guardian and protector
We should preserve her worth
Instead of trying to collect her
These lines we draw on her
Are merely temporary
In a million years
These lines will be there barely
We?re supposed to hand her down
To the kids of our kids kids kids
Life is not about you ? no, no
It?s about the things you did
You see this life that we live
Belongs to our Great Protector
Its not yours at all
So don't pretend it is
Break
Repeat verses 1 & 3
