They have it all in their hand
The world
The money
The hearts of many
But what they don't have
Is joy
is peace
Is serenity
They have it all
except what they want
what they need
they are not happy
Don't you see?
Money doesn't buy happiness
And neither does pain
Never let your sorrow
go down in vein
because while everyone is searching
your looking for a way
to get out of this hell you call a home
and live
because while your desperate
Looking for a way
your making someone else's life worse
And nobody sees your pain
they just think you're vein
but everybody soon will see
the same exact thing as me
so do your best to climb out of hell
or at least make it more like
heaven
but which one is easier
i don't know
Everybody calls you names
everybody calls you insane
your natural defense
is to get back in the game
make yourself feel better
by pushing them down
instead of lifting yourself up
because pushing people down is just another way to
bring yourself up
with less work
with less hope
with less dreams
and you make a monster out of you and me

The people who survive with this are my heroes. they may not act like it, they could be better, but they endure it all and face it head on
