If I play the game
And I win the fame
Will I be the man I dreamed of?
And if I woo the crowd
And their screams are loud
Is it really me that they love?

What does it profit?
What does if profit me?

Chorus:
If I gain the whole world
And lose my own soul
What would be said of me?
Or my vanity, vanities
Chasin' the wind
And I'm feelin' empty again, yeah
I'm feelin' empty again

(Repeat music)

Uhh.... uhh...
If I play the game
And I win the fame
Will I be the man I dreamed of?

(Repeat chorus)

If I gain the whole world
And lose my own soul
Uhhh... what would be said?
Tell me what would be said
Or my vanity, vanities
Chasin' the wind
And I'm feelin' empty again, yeah
I'm feelin' empty again
Yeah, yeah
Jesus come fill me again
Uhh...
