lyrics

Like a stone, you feel so strong,
but the solid design leaves you standing alone.
One more time only lasts for so long,
'til the riches you find,
leave you bound to your throne.

If only Diamonds, Gold and Pearls make you shine
then you need to let go
of all the things you're holding on to.
'cause more and more never leaves you satisfied.

You're too cool to be grateful,
but you don't mind what you don't know.
You say your life is delightful,
but you're so blind, you missed the whole show.
You see to me it's just shameful,
to base your whole worth, on what you own.
And when you've spent all your time,
you can't buy it back, no,
you just reap what you sow.

To love is to live, and not just survive.
To gain is to give,
to be strong is to be kind.

You're too cool to be grateful,
but you don't mind what you don't know.
You say your life is delightful,
but you're so blind, you missed the whole show.
You see to me it's just shameful,
to base your whole worth, on what you own.
And when you've spent all your time,
you can't buy it back, no,
you just reap what you sow.
