“IT’S NOT ABOUT ME”
We live a lifetime, of tribulations
To struggle is our recreation
Life is filled with constant fear and doubt
We grew up learning, ‘There’s no easy way’
Keep the blinders on and grind it every day
Forget all others and just focus on yourself
…Now that’s a thought, that just couldn’t be more wrong
Cause it’s not about you, it’s not about me
And gathering all we can see
It’s not about yours, it’s not about mine
Possessions we must leave behind
To figure out life, and understand all it can be
Just know that it’s not about you…IT’S NOT ABOUT ME
Do you ever wonder, just when your life will turn
Surviving’s hard enough there’s still so much to learn
So tell me why that being selfish is so wrong?
…It’s all right here, I’ve put the answer in this song
It’s not about you, it’s not about me
And gathering all we can see
It’s not about yours, it’s not about mine
Possessions we must leave behind
To figure out life, and understand all it can be
Just know that it’s not about you…IT’S NOT ABOUT ME
It’s all about giving, beyond your hearts content
Without a dime being spent, or just making a call
It means to put someone ahead of yourself
They matter more than anything else, so can’t you see
That it’s not about you, it’s not about me
And gathering all we can see
It’s not about yours, it’s not about mine
Possessions we must leave behind
It’s not about you, it’s not about me
And gathering all we can see
It’s not about yours, it’s not about mine
Possessions we must leave behind
To figure out life, and understand all it can be
Just know that it’s not about you…IT’S NOT ABOUT ME
Just know that it’s not about you…IT’S NOT ABOUT ME
