A milion years

Hiker standing on a rocky overlook above the Grand Canyon and Colorado River

You walk around like you’re above us,
Like the world belongs to you.
You never stop to see the damage
That the things you say can do.

You look down on the people
Who don’t have what you have.
You wear your pride like armor,
And call your coldness strength.

You act like time is endless,
Like the clock will never turn.
But every second that you waste
Is one you’ll never earn.

Will you live for a million years
With a heart that treats people this way?
Will you live for a million years
And have nothing good to say?

What will all your pride be worth
When there’s no one left to hear?
Will you live for a million years,
Or will you finally disappear?

You can have a house of gold,
You can have a famous name.
You can fill your hands with money,
But it won’t make you less ashamed.

You can stand above the others,
You can win every little fight.
But a man who hurts the people
Never really wins at life.

The years don’t care about your status,
They don’t care how much you own.
One day all the doors will close,
And you’ll be standing there alone.

Will you live for a million years
With a heart that treats people this way?
Will you live for a million years
And have nothing good to say?

What will all your pride be worth
When there’s no one left to hear?
Will you live for a million years,
Or will you finally disappear?

A million years is not enough
To make a cruel heart kind.
A million years won’t buy back
The love you left behind.

So what are you waiting for?
What are you trying to prove?
If this is the only life you have,
What are you gonna do?

Will you live for a million years
With a heart that treats people this way?
Will you live for a million years
And have nothing good to say?

What will all your pride be worth
When there’s no one left to hear?
Will you live for a million years,
Or will you finally disappear?
