[Verse 1]
He who seeks of only vanity
And no love for humanity
Shall fade away, fade away
[Verse 2]
He who checks for only wealth
And not for his physical health
Shall fade away, fade away
[Pre-Chorus]
Though some believe in diamonds and pearl
And feel like they're on top of the world
They shall fade away, hear what I say
[Chorus]
The rich is getting richer every day
And the little that the poor man got
It shall be taken away
Do you hear what I say?
Yeah, hear what I say
[Verse 4]
The man who worships silver and gold
Shall surely, surely, surely lose his own soul
Then fade away
[Verse 5]
One who's always acting smart
And don't carry no love in his heart
Shall fade away
[Bridge]
God is here and there and everywhere
And He knows when you play the game unfair
So people beware
Or else you fade away!
Hey, beware!
Or dare you fade away?
You gotta fade, gotta fade, gotta fade now
[Chorus]
The rich is getting richer every day
And the little that the poor man got
It shall be taken away
Do you hear what I say, hey?
Hear what I say
[Verse 6]
One who's always acting smart
And forgetting to carry love in his heart
Shall fade away
[Outro]
God is here and there and everywhere
And His eyes, His eyes are watching you
You gon' fade away, yeah, yeah
You gon' fade, fade, fade
Fade away
Fade away
Yeah, yeah
