I don't need your money I don't need your fame I don't even need to know You ever knew my name I just need this moment To break you from the game And realize that in God's eyes We are all the same
From debutantes to paupers Moguls to the meek From athletes and grand elite To the frail and the weak
From the rich to the poor We have one thing in common Your status doesn't matter From the inside of a coffin
From the miracle of birth To pomp and circumstance Or humble cold beginnings And living just by chance
Life is far too short To forget how to pray Since all men will stand equal On judgment day
I don't want your money I don't desire fame I don't even want to know You ever knew my name Just take a quiet moment Forget about the game And realize that in God's eyes We are all the same

Great lyric. It has the feel of one that just wrote itself Any particular reason that you chose to say, "From God's eyes" instead of "In God's Eyes?" It's an unusual turn of phrase (which may just be a good reason to use it.)

My take on this is that it could have been at least in part inspired by the crisis of the current pandemic. Correct or not?

The Bible hasn't changed since Moses wrote the Old Testament and there's nothing new under the sun... Money and politics is really where my head is at but, we probably shouldn't go there
