Price of Gain

I don't want to gain the world as a whole To be blinded by that which does not stay Only to end up losing my soul. What is it that I am expected, this role - Expectations to walk a line a certain way I don't want to gain the world as a whole. Living up to everyone's ideas is taking its toll Wondering what exactly I will have to pay Only to end up losing my soul. Do this, buy that, be him, be her, who's in control? This life spins, my heart breaks in dismay I don't want to gain the world as a whole Sell out to the highest bidder: this world's goal. Listening to what they have to say, Only to end up losing my soul. Seeing is believing, hearts black as coal, Lord, help me find a different game to play. I don't want to gain the world as a whole Only to end up losing my soul.
