He who seeks of only vanity
And no love for humanity
Shall fade away, fade away
Job 34:20; Psalm 112:10


He who checks for all his wealth
And not for his physical health
Shall fade away yeah, hear what I say
(They shall fa-aa-aa-aa-de away)
James 1:10-11


Though some believe in diamonds and pearls
And feel like they're on top of the world
They shall fade away, yeah
Hear what I say

The rich is getting richer every day (richer, richer)
And the little that the poor man's got
Shall be taken away
Do you hear what I say, yeah
Hear what I say
Matthew 13:12


The man who's always acting smart
And forget to carry some love in his heart
Gonna fade away
(They shall fa-aa-aa-aa-de away)

The man that worships silver and gold
Shall surely, surely lose his soul
And fade away
Psalm 115:4; Isaiah 2:20; Zephaniah 1:18; Matthew 16:26; James 5:3


God is here, there and everywhere
And He's got, His eyes are watching you
Job 34:21; Proverbs 15:3

You're gonna fade away, yeah
(They shall fa-aa-aa-aa-de away)

God is here, there and everywhere
And you watch out, don't play the game unfair
Oh, my people beware
Or else you'll fade away, yeah
Beware, or else you'll fade away

You're gonna fade, gonna fade, gonna fade, gonna
You're gonna fade, gonna fade, gonna fade, gonna
(They shall fa-aa-aa-aa-de away)
Yeah

You're gonna fade away, yeah
(They shall fa-aa-aa-aa-de away)

Brother, what you done?
You're gonna fade away, you're gonna

(Fade)

Brother, what you done?
You're gonna fade away, yeah

(Away)

Fade in the morning, in the evening too
You're gonna fade away, yeah

(Fade)

Brother, what you done?
You're gonna fade, gonna fade
You're gonna fade

(Away)

You're gonna fade, gonna fade
Gonna fade, gonna fade away, yeah
Beware
