There are lots of things that money can't buy
To get ahead and have much we continue to try.
Happiness and contentment continuously sought
Two things in life which can't be bought.
Money and riches are full of deceit
Both can be had and life is still not complete.
We have a hole in our soul that we try to mend
With material things again and again.
There are so many things that matter far more
To love and be loved is one thing for sure.
It does not take wealth to do a good deed
We don't need money to help those in need.
A smile, a kind word, to sit and just listen
The things in this world that are too often missing.
We will be judged by our deeds and not by our wealth.
And should think more of others and less of self.
So many things are ours for the giving
Family, good health, the simple joy of just living.
A sparrow's sweet song, flowers and trees
The best things in life, and they are all free.
When hard times come and discontentment abounds
Take two steps back and just look around.
It is the free gifts in life that are far more lasting
These are the things which are worth for our grasping.
When hard times come and discontentment abounds
Take two steps back and just look around.
The free gifts in life are far more lasting
These are things which are worth for our grasping.
