And really do we pray when we say, "I'm gonna pray for you" to the ones we love?
Do we find the time to ask God what He wants from us or do we go our own way?
If we took the time to listen to anyone but ourselves I think we'd know which way to go
If you look at your reflection then quickly turn away and forget your face, you're like a wave
Flowers fall and beauty fades
And when you die you can't take your money with you in the next life
But we keep treasures all these treasures measure up to nothing more than self-indulgence and self-importance
If we took the time to listen to anyone but ourselves we'd see we're wrong
And it's hard to know you're wrong
But if you look at your reflection then quickly turn away and forget your face, you're like a wave
Flowers fall and beauty fades
We need to be quick to hear each other's words
Kill the poison on our tongues
And quench our angry thirst
Don't wait until tomorrow to put away your dirty cloth
Tomorrow could be never
For all you know you could be gone
And if I think I have the answers, I'd better think again
Because my friend has got a splinter but I've got wooden hands
The only thing I know for certain is that one day I'll be dead
And I want you to know me by the way I've loved
