Folks who got it, they say "don't worry about it, it aint worth your time"
Suddenly They're falling to their knees
When they see that green dry up like leaves
Some will say that it rules everything
Making it their almighty king
If you're willing to work hard and sacrifice
you can buy the world but you might pay with your life
(Chorus) Money don't mean a thing if your life is full of stress
No mater what it will bring, it won;t bring hapiness
Cars and things and diamond rings aren't worth as much as knowing
that none of it can come with us to the place we all are going
It's a crying shame
since the days of the pharaohs the game has been the same
Any pimp will tell you his philosophy
it's simple just sell what you got for free
in god we trust
with one hand over his heart and the other tearing yours apart.
Don't let her get to thinking she's worth a dime
As long as its snowing, she'll stay in line
Supply the rock and keep her out on the block
keep smiling and lining your pockets with her freedom

I got to wonder why
only you know where we're going when we die
Only you know where the good lord is sending me
the worry is, what i see keeps on bending me
You keep on telling me I got to love my neighbor and love my enemy
If that's the case, how can it be
you'd never be caught dead breaking bread with another race.
(Chorus)
But If I get to church on time
Reciting every chapter verse and rhyme
will I be the first in line at the pearly gates?
If I get to church on time
When I wasn't that old
You told me about a place where the streets were paved with gold
The recipe to get there, passed on from long ago
Show up for sunday service, say a sentence and save your soul
Sunday morning, when they pass the plate,
you say I got to give to receive, don't hesitate
Early sunday morning, when they pass that plate
Try to run me for my money, got yours locked in a safe

Feel like I'm loosing my mind
I think of you all the time
my knees are feeling so weak
I look for you at night.
you can hear my heels clicking on the concrete
But you just can't be found
How come you ain't around?
The wind starts blowing in my ear
My head starts spinning, I can hear you singing
and oh dear
(chorus)
I think I know why
I been feeling so high
as I'm closing the curtain
You see just like you, Im hurtin'
My balance comes and it goes
You are something special, every body knows
I'm holding tight to my phone at home
I can hear the tick tock of the clock and the click clack of the metronome
This rhythm drives me insane
What is it and why is it that we play this game
But this hurtin feeling makes it so revealing that love won't let us down.
Don't you know?

Something snaps inside me
By design that isn't mine, not entirely
Crystalized like bacon fat inside my arteries
Now, so much a part of me
Oh god bless your soul, you've got so much self control and so much patience.
congratulations.
You've got this tiger by the toe, around his neck a pretty bow for strangulation, assures capitulation
Chorus:
Glory hallelujah I wouldn't do that to you
But now I do
A paraplegic pantomime whose audience is deaf and blind
trying to get through to you
It bubbles and bubbles and the trouble just doubles
Pressure's rising to the top now that pressure's gonna drop
There has got to be a better way
The gates go up, the dogs released
Just a burdened beast
Run rabbit run puts that carrot 'fore the horse
when that don't work you use brute force
The mind blindfolded, the line goes dead
Arms are shouldered in heart and head
Nothing to do nothing to say, shut your mouth and put your hands away
Now it seems the storm has passed
Beneath the broken branches and the shattered glass
There's still green grass
We can't change the weather
but we can be prepared if we just work together

I had my eyes wide open but still I didn't see
I searched the world to find what, all the time, was right in front of me
Casing down a dream, it seems the dream was dreaming me
some where between what is, what was, and what would never be
This train aint gonna stop, you just have to tuck and roll
It's time to find the hole shaped hear to fit your heart shaped hole
Chorus:
It's right in front of you there's nothing you can say or do
to take a lie and make it true. Out with the old in with the new.
I know you already know, it's time for you to just let go.
You're going no where 'till you realize you're already there
Running round in circles, a dog chasing his tail
The harder you pursue it, the more you seem to fail
Push that bird in hand back into the bush
Aren't you tired of the fight?
Just come out of the darkness into the light
Let your life be easy
Stop fighting gravity
There's no way to stop your fall
A life that's spent in fear of death,
Well, that's no life at all
There are tears we all must cry and blood we alll must bleed
Some pain can pass you by, why take more than you need?

There is a voice inside of me that talks to me in my dreams
It tells me that you're translucent veil of fairy tales isn't what it seems.
You always got one more thing to do, and never tell me why
Pushing me far away from you, empty and love denied
So many reasons to be extra late,
When you come home you say you're too tired and my love will have to wait
Chorus:
You keep telling me lies when you look in my eyes and
You turn this into something I despise
I hear words repeat and they won't change. Never should have let you stay.
And I can't believe a single word you say
How many times do you have to hear?
Your sneaky ways and lies are crystal clear
Runnin' and dodging and bending what is true
You're hurting me and you're killing yourself too
There's always something maybe even an exception
Don't try to challenge all the rules of my conception
You think you're so smart but at the end of the day your broken promises are breaking my heart
Chorus
Look what you've made, this love's a weight
you turned this paradise into something I despise
I hear the same refrain this love's a stain
and I can't believe a single word you say

You've been hard to forget
Can't Shake your love, not yet
This thing we started such a long time ago
My heart won't heal 'cause baby, you're all I know
come on let me love you baby and hear me when I say to you
I want you to know you got me
I want you to see what we will be I want you to feel the rhythm of my love will set us free (in me)
I've been walking around and feeling so uptight
My mind is aching but now I see the light
I remember you loved me, I remember the night
you told me "Baby, our love is worth the fight"
Sunshine comes from the divine
makes me feel so fine
I found you in time and I want you to know

They hear what you're saying, they just don't care
The Games you were playing got you nowhere
You lied and you lies and you tried to believe it
you know it's no use any more
will they teach you to fly where you go when you die
when they see what you've used your wings for
Chorus:
I will be there with you when you fall.
I will help you to stand tall when they take you down
Nothing can break you down now
She don't care where you're going, she knows where you've been
The cards you were showing never could win
So put on your make up and button up your coat
and put on your best sunday shoes
We'll go for a ride in a shiny black car and make sure they all get the news
Are you finally free?
Is it everything you thought it would be?
Take a look at the seed you've sown
Now taste the fruit it's grown
Yeah!
