Well I got something that I think you'll want
It's not for sale, it can't be bought
Lean closer let me fill you in
Baby you need a friend
You got money, you got diamond rings
You're finding out they don't mean a thing
What good's the soul that cannot sing?
So take a chance, take a chance with me
Open your eyes and you will see
I own nothing but I'm a wealthy man
I'll share it with you if you'll take my hand.
Your daddy's money gonna give you the blues
Tell your mama take her hands off you
Pick up the cross, God'll see you through.
You know I love you baby
I'll love you hard and I'll love you long
And I don't want this love to perish
So listen to the message and the music
And the lyrics of this song.
A camel through a needle's eye
Not all the rich have to die
Follow closely, do not stray
You can probably keep the money
Just give your soul away
Don't negotiate, just stop and pray
Lift your head up to heaven and say
Please forgive me, take these things away
And then keep walking, walk tall, doll
Carry that cross,
A light unto your path, a lamp unto your feet
You fall down, get back up again
It's foolishness to them that perish.
I'm gonna love you 'til your dying day.
'Til you're born again or turn me away
It's up to you, there's nothing left to say
Just keep walking.
