The Money You Make Lyrics

People always want to ask me

They wanna know what's my name

They want to see if my value

Is really worth the wait

And I try to tell you

I try to say

Everything isn't worth nothing at all

If there's no one calling your name

You life is a gift you can give to the world

Your time could be worth so much more

It's not all your cars or your house on the Cape

It's everything you do for someone else's sake

It's sad that you only see in you

The money that you make

They're searching for some meaning

At the bottom of every drink

And when they come up empty

It always makes them think

And if I'm so lucky

Then why is there shame

And when the lights automatically dim

And there's no one calling your name

You life is a gift you can give to the world

Your time could be worth so much more

It's not all your cars or your house on the Cape

It's everything you do for someone else's sake

It's sad that you only see in you

The money that you make
