Lyrics

LOWBORN MEN


LOWBORN MEN ARE BUT A BREATH
HIGHBORN MEN ARE BUT A LIE
IN THE END WE'LL ALL BE WEIGHED
UPON THE JUDGEMENT SCALES OF LIFE

BOTH PROVE LIGHTER THAN A FEATHER
BOTH UPON THE SCALES WILL RISE
JUDGING THEM TO BE NO DIFFERENT
CONSIDER HOW YOU SPEND YOUR LIFE

WILL YOU SPEND IT SEEKING FAME AND FORTUNE
SPEND IT TRUSTING IN A LIE
WHAT WILL SEE YOU THROUGH THE QUESTIONS
CONSIDER HOW YOU SPEND YOUR LIFE


NOW, THE RICH MAN'S BARNS WILL BE HIS BURDEN
AND THE POOR MAN'S BURDEN WILL BE LIGHT
LOVE'S THE ONLY LASTING TREASURE
CARRIED ONTO GLORY WHEN WE DIE


WHEN THE SHADOW FALLS UPON THE MOUNTAIN
AND ALL THE LEAVES ARE TURNING BRIGHT
WHAT WILL SEE YOU THROUGH THE WINTER
CONSIDER HOW YOU SPEND YOUR LIFE
