Each path we walk, it forges something,

a step within a stair.

A line part of a rhythmic pattern

and we’re unaware.

We’re so wrapped up in what’s before us,

like it’s all there is.

As back and forth we pace, uneasy.

I promise you this -

The time will come when you will see,

the scales will disappear.

In that moment look around you,

it will all be clear.

I spent my whole life building.

I saw it all, yeah ups and downs.

Started from nothing, God knows I did it all,

For generations I have toiled to build,

you don’t have a damn thing

if the sun sets…

and you’ve got no one.

You can buy land and home

across this world made of stone,

gathering more into barns than the rest.

You can travel and see

every sight there may be

under Heaven from East to the West.

You can spend every day

finding more ways to pay,

grabbing all you can possibly get.

But remember there’s something

worth far more than these…

to die without any...

I had to trade another jot,

I had to sell a tittle.

I had to cuz they told me that

what giving just a little costs

when all is said and done.
