| He who seeks of only vanity
|
| And no love for humanity
|
| Shall fade away, fade away
|
| He who checks for only wealth
|
| And not for his physical health
|
| Shall fade away, fade away
|
| Though some believe in diamonds and pearl
|
| And feel like they’re on top of the world
|
| They shall fade away, hear what I say
|
| The rich is getting richer every day
|
| And the little that the poor man got
|
| It shall be taken away
|
| Do you hear what I say?
|
| Yeah, hear what I say
|
| The man who worships silver and gold
|
| Shall surely, surely, surely lose his own soul
|
| Then fade away
|
| One who’s always acting smart
|
| And don’t carry no love in his heart
|
| Shall fade away
|
| God is here and there and everywhere
|
| And He knows when you play the game unfair
|
| So people beware
|
| Or else you fade away!
|
| Hey, beware!
|
| Or dare you fade away?
|
| You gotta fade, gotta fade, gotta fade now
|
| The rich is getting richer every day
|
| And the little that the poor man got
|
| It shall be taken away
|
| Do you hear what I say, hey?
|
| Hear what I say
|
| One who’s always acting smart
|
| And forgetting to carry love in his heart
|
| Shall fade away
|
| God is here and there and everywhere
|
| And His eyes, His eyes are watching you
|
| You gon' fade away, yeah, yeah
|
| You gon' fade, fade, fade
|
| Fade away
|
| Fade away
|
| Yeah, yeah |
