lyrics

Why do the fields grow?
Who tells the moon to go when the birds begin to sing?
Where did I come from and where will I go?
Who counts the lot of the things I've sown
When the ground begins to show?

My life is not my own
My life is not my own
Blowing in the wind
Carried by the waves
Here for just a minute and then gone in a day
My life is not my own
My life is not my own
Got only one to live
Better make it count
Better make it count

Who caused the sun to shine
In all its brilliance for the first time
Making darkness turn to light?
Who made my human frame
Gave me these thoughts running through my brain
And the blood within my veins?

This isn't about me
But it's about You
It's about You, it's about You
We're gonna reap what we sow
And it's about You
It's about You, it's about You

Give me Your heart if You want to

My life is not my own
My life is not my own
Blowing in the wind
Carried by the waves
Here for just a minute and then gone in a day
