| Some people are rich, Some people are poor, Some flaunt their wealth, Some live as if they're poor, Some give all their money away, Some wish they had money, Some struggle each day to live, Some spend their wealth wisely, Some buy their friends; Some friends can't be bought; Some rather be poor and happy, Some rather be rich and miserable. The rich will one day become poor; The poor will one day become rich; True friends will stick by the poor; Fake friends will follow the rich; Which would you rather be? Among the wealthy and rich; Among the poor and rich; I'd rather live among the poor. The poor know how to save; They know how to spend wisely; They will always be rich in spirit; They will always have truth. The rich only know to spend; They flaunt their wealth to show power; They buy friends with all their wealth; They toss away real love for the fake. One day their wealth will be gone; They'll lose many friends; They'll realise the truth; Money doesn't bring happiness. One day, they'll even learn, That their money drove away The greatest gift of all: Real, honest to goodness Love! If they ever wake up out of darkness; Allow their eyes to see the vision; Allow the truth to devour them, They'll know the real truth of it all. Love is strong and kind. It will make sacrifices. It will lie to make a point. It will cry in silence. In the end love hopes: Its sacrifice will be known, Its truth revealed, In the end love hopes, It's not too late to notice. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
