[Verse 1] I woke up with that question Banging in my head Do I make a thing worth keeping? Or just take and leave a mess Your hands got oil and honey Mine got a little stain We both set at the table But we don't seem the same [Pre-Chorus] Say it plain Don't look away What's your hand been doing All damn day? [Chorus] Do you create or consume? (create or consume) A builder or a flame? (builder or a flame) Building something beautiful Or burning it for gain Do you create or consume? (create or consume) Look deep inside today Are you planting seeds of love Or watching life decay? [Verse 2] I seen men count their profits While a mother counts her bread I seen bright hard blessings Turn to smoke before they spread You can hear it in the footsteps You can see it in the eyes Some folks leave a garden Some folks leave a lie [Pre-Chorus] Say it plain Don't look away What's your hand been doing All damn day? [Chorus] Do you create or consume? (create or consume) A builder or a flame? (builder or a flame) Building something beautiful Or burning it for gain Do you create or consume? (create or consume) Look deep inside today Are you planting seeds of love Or watching life decay? [Bridge] I don't want a pocket full of nothing I don't want a heart , makes me cry If I got one life to spend here Let me make one more thing right One more thing right (one more thing right) [Chorus] Do you create or consume? (create or consume) A builder or a flame? (builder or a flame) Building something beautiful Or burning it for gain Do you create or consume? (create or consume) Look deep inside today Are you planting seeds of love Or watching life decay?
