This song is kind of a fun one that expresses how important it is to allow the temporal blessings God gives us to change who we are at heart.

Lyrics:

I could learn about the stars, about the termperature of mars

and about the time slippage near a black hole

Find out how a lily grows, how fast a hurricane can blow

and be no closer to achieving all my goals.

What if I were to discover how the body can recover

from a disease that makes you feel like your in a fetter

Or keep the chemical levels of each system undisheveled

would it do me any good or make be better?

Do I relish what I know above the pianissimo

of every quiet push within to be the one

Who shows the outcast and the weak a good example of how to seek

the things that can only with love by rightly done?

No matter what you know, what you do or what you own,

None of which is worth it to accrue

Unless you allow it to transform you somehow

It's only as good as it makes you

If I told a little lie just to protect somebody's pride

Or fake and opinion to make you feel good in the moment

Or offered with persuasion lots of money on occasion

Just to get me out of trouble with an opponent

What good would it really do me if a rumor spread right through me

Even if it was complete and total truth?

Is honesty in a matter really worth the poison chatter

of the gossip we should really all eschew?

I could give a good suggestion to fix cultural indigestion

That leaves so many people feeling used

But how good is it really to me if my words do not renew me

If I don't show that in my behavior they'll be used?

No matter what you know, what you do or what you own,

None of which is worth it to accrue

Unless you allow it to transform you somehow

It's only as good as it makes you

What if I had the coolest car or the world's largest repertoire

Of famous paintings and collections to extol

A billion dollars in the bank or the very highest ranking

In some kind of popular opinion poll

What good is the highest paying job if it just turns me into a snob

who thinks possessions could possibly be enough?

Even if I thought I had it all, how great and heavy would be my fall

if I believed that happiness is having stuff?

Even the planet's greatest riches cannot scratch the human itches

that can only be satisfied with proper love

No matter how hard you try, your plans will always go awry

If your life is just a game of push and shove.

No matter what you know, what you do or what you own,

None of which is worth it to accrue

Unless you allow it to transform you somehow

It's only as good as it makes you
