TITLE: ALL IS WELL—THE MARKET’S UP LYRICS: [Spoken Intro] Babylon is going to fall. We just hope it waits until after retirement. [Verse 1] Stocks are up and bonds are safe, The mortgage nearly paid; We sang, “Come out of Babylon,” Then checked how much we’d made. Nothing wrong with business Or saving for old age; But when profit matters more than folks, Babylon owns the page. [Chorus] All is well in Zion, And the market closed up high; We’re waiting for old Babylon To tumble by and by. Could it wait till after Our retirement funds mature? We’d like to leave old Babylon— Just financially secure. [Verse 2] We told the world, “A Bible? God can surely speak once more.” Then Neh-MEHN-hah brought another record Knocking at the door. “A Book of Mormon? We’ve got one! We don’t need any more.” Funny how revelation stops Where comfort locks the door. [Bridge] Don’t believe it just because I do— Read and test and pray. Truth has never feared another Witness of the Way. Zion isn’t measured By how much we store away; It begins when people matter more Than profits every day. [Final Chorus] All is not well in Zion While a neighbor stands alone; No portfolio can build the place Where every heart is one. Let Babylon keep falling— Lord, begin its fall in me; Teach my hands to share the wealth And set my spirit free. [Spoken Outro] If Babylon calls to renew my membership… Tell them I stepped out to help the neighbor.
