For what profit is it
To gain all the riches in the world
When you could lose it in one day
If the markets crash?
For what profit is it
To own a huge house in the country
When thieves could break in and steal
All of your precious possessions?
For what profit is it
To own the latest and greatest big car
When it could rust away to nothing
If it's scratched by a tiny stone?
For what profit is it
To own the largest clothes wardrobe ever
When one little moth could destroy it
With it's minute babies?
For what profit is it
To gain the whole world for a lifetime
Only to spend eternity in hell -
A place with no emergency exit?
