Carolina The Band - What Does It Profit A Man? Lyrics

I guess he's a good man
His record is clean
Twenty four seven
He never stops chasing his dreams
Nothing is missed
Every wish on his list
No matter how much
Still it's never enough

Tell me what does it profit a man?
To gain the whole world and still lose his soul
All the money, and houses and lands
Won't mean a thing when it's time to go
Did we shine with the light, and show them the Christ?
Cause love is the one truth that stands
If we build on the sand
Tell me what does it profit a man?

Now he made a promise
He kept to himself
Before it was over
He'd have more than anyone else
In time it came
All the riches and fame
But the day that he died
He was empty inside

Tell me what does it profit a man?
To gain the whole world and still lose his soul
All the money, and houses and lands
Won't mean a thing when it's time to go
Did we shine with the light, and show them the Christ?
Cause love is the one truth that stands
If we build on the sand
Tell me what does it profit a man?

Everything that we save
We can't take to the grave

Tell me what does it profit a man?
To gain the whole world and still lose his soul
All the money, and houses and lands
Won't mean a thing when it's time to go
Did we shine with the light, and show them the Christ?
Cause love is the one truth that stands
If we build on the sand
Tell me what does it profit a man?"
