    Story Behind the Song
    One has to wonder what it means to end up with all the toys means when you die...

    Lyrics
    ALL YOU GET TO KEEP
    (Copyright © 1998 by Thomas Honles . All Rights Reserved)

    There was a man, who thought all the world's a stage
    Wondered about the part - that he had to play
    Born into some money, was always well to do
    Saved every penny til the whole day was through
    One day this gentleman, gave it all away
    Died in his sleep they say, the very next day

    All he got to keep was what he gave away
    All he got to keep was what he gave what he gave
    All he got to keep was what he gave away
    All he got to keep was what he gave away

    Johnny is an actor, if you ask that what he'll say
    Knows every line of every act he's played
    Ran into some trouble, a couple years ago
    Walkin down the street, in San Francisco
    Said that his life changed, when he got turned onto hash
    Saw his friends all running, when he came up short of
    cash
    He knows every line in every act he's played
    But they're long forgotten... on his dying day

    All he got to keep was what he gave away
    All he got to keep was what he gave what he gave
    All he got to keep was what he gave away
    All he got to keep was what he gave away

    Andy is a sergeant, a platoon at his command
    Follows every order, watches every man
    Last night he dreamed, and woke up in a sweat
    Thought he'd heard a bomb truck, go off in his head
    He waits and prays for the day his tour is through
    If the bomb goes off tomorrow, what is he to do?

    All he got to keep was what he gave away
    All he got to keep was what he gave what he gave
    All he got to keep was what he gave away
    All he got to keep was what he gave away

    Jesse was a carpenter, earned bread with his hands
    Tough to make a living, but by his work he'd stand
    Gave it all his best, quality they say
    But his joy and pride, was to watch his children play
    Many years of life led to his dying day
    When his children gathered round, to bless him on his
    way

    All you get to keep is what you give away
    All you get to keep is what you give , what you give
    All you get to keep is what you give away
    All you get to keep is what you give

    2 Cor 6:9
