WHAT IS LIFE REALLY WORTH? [Verse 1] They told me, chase the gold, As if money could buy time. I’ve seen mansions full of sorrow, And poor hearts filled with light. We spend our lives becoming someone, Trying hard to leave a name. But when our footsteps fade away, Will anything remain? [Pre-Chorus] Every mirror shows a face, But hides the heart within. We’re only passing through this world, Not knowing where we’ve been. [Chorus] Tell me, what is life worth? A kingdom or a hand to hold? A name forgotten by the wind, Or a love that never grows old? Nothing here belongs to us, Not even tomorrow’s sunrise. But the love we give away May live beyond our lives. [Verse 2] We carry keys to empty houses, To homes we’ll someday leave. We make our plans for years ahead, For days we may not see. We always say there’s time enough, To forgive and say, “I love you.” But seasons pass without a sound, And yesterday is gone too soon. [Pre-Chorus] Why do we chase the fading glory, When everything must disappear? Perhaps the greatest thing in life Is loving those who once were here. [Chorus] Tell me, what is life worth? A kingdom or a hand to hold? A name forgotten by the wind, Or a love that never grows old? Nothing here belongs to us, Not even tomorrow’s sunrise. But the love we give away May live beyond our lives. [Instrumental Break] [Bridge] And if tomorrow never comes, What would remain of all my years? The dreams I never dared to follow? The words I buried in my fears? I do not ask to live forever, Or leave a name upon the stone. I only hope to leave some light In hearts I’ll never truly own. [Final Chorus] Tell me, what is life worth? A kingdom or a hand to hold? A name forgotten by the wind, Or a love that never grows old? We’re only travelers passing through, Between the silence and the sky. But every kindness that we give May stay when we say goodbye. [Outro] What is life really worth, If we have never learned to love? What is life really worth, If we’ve never shared enough? One day, everything must go… But love may live beyond us all.
