Is my living in vain?
Is my giving in vain?
Is my praying in vain?
Is my fasting in vain?
Am I wasting my time?
Can the clock be rewind?
Have I let my light shine?
Have I made ninety-nine?
No, no, of course not
No, no, of course not, it is not all in vain
It is not all in vain, because up the road is eternal gain
Is my praying in vain?
Is my labor in vain?
Is my singing in vain?
Is my speaking, is it in vain?
Is my playing in vain?
Is my praying in vain?
Is my labor in vain?
Is my singing, singing in vain?
No, no, of course not
No, no, of course not, it is not all in vain
It is not all in vain, because up the road is eternal gain
