And the people at the top
They don't think too much about it
Make like they care with a dollar bill or two
I know it's hard when there's no time in your agenda
Say some empty words and push on through
It's a long hard road till you get there
I know cause I'm still on my way
Need your heart and soul to believe it
We're gonna get there someday
Deep down we're all common people
We all want pride in our lives
Dignity is something that you earn from what you do
Not from some populist disguise
Giving it up giving it up ain't easy
Cause human nature holds you back
I know the world is full of reasons and excuses
Never mind the noise now keep on track
Cause it's a long hard road till you get there
I know cause I'm still on my way
Need your heart and soul to believe it
We're gonna get there someday someday
And you can walk on by that poor man in the street
Keep your eyes up straight ahead
Cause it's his problem if it's hard to make ends meet
Should have tried something else instead
He's just the victim of your privilege and power
He's just a pawn in the game
And if you look straight down from that ivory tower
You'll see people they're all the same
Giving it up giving it up ain't easy
Cause human nature's got you tied
But you can change the world
If you can see what the other sees yeah
Take a look from the other side
And it's a long hard road till you get there
I know cause I'm still on my way
Need your heart and your soul to believe it
We're gonna get there someday someday
Mighty fine in every way, Chris. Mighty fine.
Another winner, Chris. Great lyric.
Thanks Tricia, I guess that money is important in that we all need it to live, but in the end it's just a tool we have to use. I can't understand people who have it as their goal in life. And I have to say I've met a few, but not on here, thankfully! 🙂
