Needtobreathe's song 'Where The Money Is' reflects on the emptiness of chasing wealth and the desire to be free from its burden. The lyrics contrast the initial excitement of opportunity with the eventual loss and shame it brings. The singer expresses a wish to avoid the trap of materialism, instead longing for simplicity and connection. There is a sense of release in burying worries and letting go of heavy concerns. The song carries a subtle spiritual undertone, suggesting a turning away from worldly pursuits toward a more meaningful, peaceful existence.

We started out we were welcome in
We had enough when we needed it
Grip all you saw in a sea of shame
Run down your dream and then lose your place
I�??m falling back up and feeling good
You opportunity struck just like you thought it would
Don�??t want to know where the money is
Don�??t want to know where the money is
It�??s just a tragedy trying to take its toll again
Don�??t want to know where the money is
These days are easy they come to life
These colors brighten they all are mine
I want to move in a lovers march
My only grief is when we spend these days apart
Bury your ropes and let the wise man�??s daughter
Carry us down to where the walls don�??t speak
Bury my worries in the deep black water
Bury them down and take the weight off me
