how can we ever learn the truth 
if our teachers always lie? 
when our feet are growing to the floor 
how are we suppose to fly? 

(chorus)
how can we get rich, when the men who pay are poor? 
quickly grows our strength to leave 
but faster grows the door 
without Jesus, all you'll gain is distraction from the goal 
without Jesus, all you are is man alone 

all your wealth, all your power 
all good to mankind you bring 
without Jesus in your life, it all amounts to nothing 
to the rich man, to the poor man 
to the strong, and to the weak 
without Jesus in your life, all you have is nothing 

(chorus)

Jesus died so we might live 
you don't have to only wish 
that heaven is the result of faith in Him who made it 
if they hadn't beat my Jesus, and stuck that thorny crown 
He would have sprinted to that cross of pain 
to have Himself nailed down 
the answer lies to the One who stands on high
