Have It All (Green Bananas) Songtext
von Good Little Giants

I was raised on green bananas
Everything before its time
Innocence an early harvest
Prematurely from the vine
So I wait for you

I have built up worldly treasures
And bigger barns to store it all
And all I′ve known from chasing pleasure
Is the pride that comes before a fall
And yet I wait for you

You can't fix what will always be broken
You can′t count when the pieces are stolen
You can't love when your heart isn't open


Eating, drinking, making merry
Cracking cistern long been dry
Is it now too late to turn
To the cup that satisfies
And yet I wait for you

The sun rises and sets again
I spend the daylight chasing the wind
Oh, tell me what does it profit a man to have it all
But lose his soul

Rivers run to fill the ocean
And never quench the thirsty sea
No man is able to take it with him
Naked we come and naked we leave

The sun rises and sets and again
I spend the daylight chasing the wind
Oh, tell me what does it profit to men
The sun rises and sets and again
I spend the daylight chasing the wind
Oh, tell me what does it profit a man to have it all
To have it all
That have it all
But lose his soul
