(If they hear you)
MAYBE THEY WILL LISTEN
Too bold you say?
Well… I hear it’s gotta be told that way
“Speak boldly to the world” he said
Maybe they will listen then
Watch how they look at themselves
And how they see who they really are
They didn’t like it then
and they won’t like it now
So we better tell them boldly,
if they hear you
Maybe they will listen now
Chorus:
Something you should know
Can’t take it with you when you go
Extra baggage isn’t allowed
on your last flight home
So if you didn’t pack inside
When it’s time for you to die
you’ll go out empty handed
Better lose all your wants
and settle your needs
This flight home has only one seat
Wrapped up in designer sheets
Egyptians died and packed their cells
To take possessions with them
to heaven…. Or to hell?
But they’re all still here
those treasures without souls
Because they can’t follow you home
But still, they all look good in the museums
under the protective cover of glass
Too bold you say?
Well… I hear it’s gotta be told that way
“be bold with your undertakings of this world” he said
Maybe they will listen then
But if your flight isn’t filled with light
There will be no rhythm to your song
and you’ll just be singing to the night
so listen before you speak and I will cover you
Chorus:
Something you should know
Can’t take it with you when you go
Extra baggage isn’t allowed
on your last flight home
So if you didn’t pack inside
When your time comes to die
you’ll go out empty handed
So you’d Better lose all your wants
and settle your needs
Cuz your last flight home has only one seat
You’ve gotta go it alone…
on your last flight home
Speak boldly and I will give you rest
This walk has always been your life's test
Lose all your wants and settle your needs
This flight home has only one seat
