Have we ever wondered
What greed took away?
We lost the love we craved for
Now think of it and weigh
Where we live, what we drive
Or the gold we wear
Have we ever noticed?
Few seem to care
We sit on a mound of pride
And build a ship of greed
Money is all we think of
And money is all we need
Our purse is full of money
Our morals all are gone
No time to see the setting sun
Or hear the birds at dawn.
Our heads are full envy
And weakened hearts we hold
Aloof and lonely we remain
Illness we behold
We think that we are rich,
But have no one to care
On a bed we lie alone
Helpless over there
It's then that we realize
Happiness is not around
The one we loved is far away
New love cannot be found
Friends, love and happiness
With wealth cannot be bought
Can never be nursed with greed
But only by the heart
It is sad but yet is true
And funny as it seems
Greed nurses nightmares,
But never gentle dreams
