I was raised on green bananas Everything before its time Innocence an early harvest Prematurely from the vine So I wait for you I have built up worldly treasures And bigger barns to store it all And all I've known from chasing pleasure Is the pride that comes before a fall And yet I wait for you You can't fix what will always be broken You can't count when the pieces are stolen You can't love when your heart isn't open ♪ Eating, drinking, making merry Cracking cistern long been dry Is it now too late to turn To the cup that satisfies And yet I wait for you The sun rises and sets again I spend the daylight chasing the wind Oh, tell me what does it profit a man to have it all But lose his soul ♪ Rivers run to fill the ocean And never quench the thirsty sea No man is able to take it with him Naked we come and naked we leave The sun rises and sets and again I spend the daylight chasing the wind Oh, tell me what does it profit to men The sun rises and sets and again I spend the daylight chasing the wind Oh, tell me what does it profit a man to have it all To have it all That have it all But lose his soul
