As we journey along, on a life's wicked road

So selfish are we, for silver and gold

You can treasure your wealth, your diamonds and gold

But my friends it won't save, your poor wicked soul

For when God calls, from his home up on high

To your earthly wealth, you must say goodbye

Then it's useless to you, if you've strayed from the fold

For my friend it won't save, your poor wicked soul

The rich man like all, will be judged at that time

But all of his wealth, will be left behind

For no matter how much earthly wealth you get hold

My friend it won't save, your poor wicked soul

My friend it won't save, your poor wicked soul
