How Will Your Story Go?
2018
By Donnie Priest/August 76 Music
I don't need a million dollars
I'm blessed every day
No gold dust under my nails
Just red Georgia clay
I don't envy others
Proud of what I've earned
What's important in life
I take time to learn
(chorus)
What good is money?
With servants at your command
When it'll all be left behind
When you reach the Promised Land
As they read your epitaph
How will your story go?
Did you gain the world?
But lost your soul
Not followed by paparazzi
Or fans with an autograph book
I can travel out in public
Without one single look
I don't care to be on TV
Or a big movie screen
Don't want to live in a world
Where nothing is as it seems
(chorus)
What good is fame?
With groupies at your command
When it'll all be left behind
When you reach the Promised Land
As they read your epitaph
How will your story go?
Did you gain the world?
But lost your soul
(bridge)
You are just wasting time
In the games that you play
You'll find what you're looking for
When you open your heart to pray
I want you to remember
Loves more precious than gold
Don't turn your back on love
Only God can save your soul
(outro)
What good is power?
The world at your command
When it'll all be left behind
When you reach the Promised Land
As they read your epitaph
How will your story go?
Did you gain the world?
But lost your soul
What this world has to offer
Is not worth your soul
