Life's Accumulation Of Things - Title By Steve Miller
We spend our lives accumulating material things,
Even though we know we can’t take them with us in the end.
Whether you’re rich or poor when you die, there’s nothing you can bring.
What counts is the life you lead with your family and friends.
Some people have a lot of money, but do nothing good.
While others who are rich spend their lives helping others.
Some people have no money, and don’t live like they should.
While others who are poor always help they’re fellow brothers.
You’re only here for a very short time on this Earth,
So why not live your life doing what you know is right?
It doesn’t matter what your material things are worth.
It’s your soul that you must hang onto with all of your might.
