(Verse 1) I walked through the fire, still smell the smoke Carried this gold like a yoke But tell me, Lord, what’s the worth of a throne If a king don’t know his own soul? (Pre-Chorus) I gave and I gave, but the weight don’t fade Laid riches down, still feel like a slave To the hunger, the power, the name they praise But what do they say when the name decays? (Choir Response) “Where do you go? Where do you go?” (Chorus – Full Choir) “Beyond the sands! Beyond the stars!” “Who are you now? Who are you now?” “Gold won’t last! But the word is strong!” “Who are you now? Who are you now?” (Verse 2) I seen men bow, I seen men break I seen faith sold, I seen souls fake But standing here where the sky runs wide Ain’t no riches left to hide behind (Pre-Chorus) Stripped me down, let the wind confess Laid it all bare, had nothin’ left And still, You spoke, said, “Child, stand tall” Ain’t the gold I give, it’s the call (Choir Response) “What do you build? What do you build?” (Chorus – Choir) “Beyond the sands! Beyond the stars!” “Who are you now? Who are you now?” “Gold won’t last! But the word is strong!” “Who are you now? Who are you now?” (Bridge – Call & Response) “Not coin by coin—” (Not coin by coin!) “Brick by brick—” (Brick by brick!) “Not name alone—” (Not name alone!) “But the truth I lift—” (Truth you lift!) (Final Chorus – Full Power Choir) “Beyond the sands! Beyond the stars!” “Who are you now? Who are you now?” “Gold won’t last! But the word is strong!” “Who are you now? Who are you now?” (Outro – Choir fades, hand claps, drum pulse.)
