What you lose
You own everything but nothing
You're at debt,
You owe everything to something
Your life belongs to Christ Jesus
Your body belongs to the Earth
All you own is for a while
So why would you run wild
Belittle people
For this fleeting possession
After your procession it becomes another's
You own everything but nothing
Whatever you lose is not lost
You never had it at all
So why rage with hatred
You know you'll be broken, crushed, betrayed, robbed
So then why do we toil, why live
We live to give, to give back what was given
To light up any candle that has ceased burning
To see the hungry with full belly walks
To calm the angry then with joy they talk
We live to be there for someone
Just like Jesus did it for us
