|
The stage is set, the race is on |
|
To drink the cup 'til every drop is gone |
|
And when you make it to the top |
|
The hunger doesn't stop |
|
You climb the ladder to success |
|
The way the world defines it more or less |
|
You find the grass is greener still |
|
On someone else's hill |
|
Diamonds and pearls, silver and gold |
|
Soon fade away, empty and cold |
|
Nothing remains of the things that we strive to attain |
|
Only the love that is lasting will not be in vain |
|
They say that pride's before the fall |
|
The stakes are high, you know who takes it all |
|
To make it through the needle's eye |
|
You just can't live a lie |
|
Diamonds and pearls, silver and gold |
|
Soon fade away, empty and cold |
|
Nothing remains of the things that we strive to attain |
|
Only the love that is lasting will not be in vain |
|
Diamonds and pearls, silver and gold |
|
Soon fade away, empty and cold |
|
Nothing remains of the things that we strive to attain |
|
Only the love that is lasting will not be in vain |
