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
