Lyrics

[male

vocals] (

Soft

piano

and

soft

guitar)

Listen

close

now,

young

ones,

let

a

traveler

speak

his

truth

I

see

the

hunger

in

your

eyes,

the

fire

of

your

youth

But

there’

s

a

trap

that’

s

glowing

on

the

screen

inside

your

hand

A

promise

of

a

shortcut

in

this

weary,

working

land

Deuteronomy

twenty-eight,

verse

twelve

is

where

I

stand

To

be

the

lender,

not

the

borrower,

walking

in

the

command

But

I

didn't

listen

to

the

wisdom,

I

didn't

heed

the

call

I

thought

the

digital

silver

would

catch

me

if

I

fall

Oh,

don't

you

chase

the

interest,

don't

you

sign

away

your

peace

For

a

little

bit

of

trouble

that

will

only

just

increase

You’

re

building

up

a

kingdom

on

a

foundation

of

sand

Oh,

be

the

lender,

not

the

borrower,

walkin'

in

the

promised

land

Yeah,

keep

your

heart

content

with

what

is

held

within

your

hand

Stay

away

from

the

money

lenders

I

had

a

little

business,

it

was

humble

but

it

grew

Enough

to

keep

the

lights

on,

enough

to

make

it

through

But

greed

is

like

a

shadow

that

follows

in

the

sun

I

looked

at

my

neighbor’

s

harvest

and

felt

that

I

was

done

I

wasn't

satisfied

with

the

portion

I

was

fed

So

I

opened

up

the

app

and

took

the

loan

instead

Just

a

little

bit

of

cash

to

make

the

business

run

so

fast

But

I

didn't

know

the

shadow

was

the

one

that’

s

gonna

last

Oh,

don't

you

chase

the

interest,

don't

you

sign

away

your

peace

For

a

little

bit

of

trouble

that

will

only

just

increase

You’

re

building

up

a

kingdom

on

a

foundation

of

sand

Oh,

be

the

lender,

not

the

borrower,

walkin'

in

the

promised

land

Yeah,

keep

your

heart

content

with

what

is

held

within

your

hand

Stay

away

from

the

money

lenders

I

paid

the

first

one

off,

and

then

I

grabbed

another

score

It

felt

like

easy

living

till

I

couldn't

reach

the

door

Years

went

by

like

winter

winds,

the

cycle

held

me

tight

I

was

trading

every

sunrise

for

a

desperate,

lonely

night

I

had

to

sell

the

house,

the

roof,

the

memories

in

the

hall

To

pay

the

heavy

debt

that

had

made

my

spirit

fall

I

lost

the

things

I

cherished

for

a

momentary

greed

Don't

follow

in

my

footsteps,

don't

plant

this

bitter

seed

It’

s

not

in

the

borrowing,

it’

s

not

in

the

screen

It’

s

not

in

the

fancy

cars

or

the

places

you

have

been

It’

s

in

the

quiet

waiting,

it’

s

in

the

steady

pace

It’

s

trusting

in

the

blessing

of

His

amazing

grace

Rise

above

the

lenders,

keep

your

conscience

clean

and

free

That’

s

the

only

way,

my

brother,

to

live

the

life

meant

to

be

Oh,

don't

you

chase

the

interest,

don't

you

sign

away

your

peace

For

a

little

bit

of

trouble

that

will

only

just

increase

You’

re

building

up

a

kingdom

on

a

foundation

of

sand

Oh,

be

the

lender,

not

the

borrower,

walkin'

in

the

promised

land

Yeah,

keep

your

heart

content

with

what

is

held

within

your

hand

Stay

away

from

the

money

lenders

Yeah,

keep

your

heart

content...

Be

the

lender,

oh,

be

the

lender

Walk

in

the

promise,

keep

your

own

home

Don't

you

borrow,

don't

you

fall (

Fade

soft

fiddle

and

guitar)
