You can tell how rich a man is
By the way he treats his brother
You can tell how strong a man is
By the way he holds his lover
If we hide our love from life
Taht ain't no way to treat each other
If we hold it all inside
How will we ever find each other ?

Inside outside
You ask the spirit to surround you
Nothing is clear, no never was
Upside downside
You leave nothing behind you
Nothing's ever clear, no never was

You can tell how rich a man is
By the way he treats his brother
You can tell how strong a man is
By the way he holds his lover
You ask me to keep the faith
Saying we will be together
How much longer will it take
'Til forever turns to never ?

You search you strive
You ask the spirit to surround you
Nothing is clear no never was
Inside outside
You leave nothing behind you
Nothing's ever clear, no never was
You say your love's strong
But ever since you've been gone
I've tried to hold on, so long
You say your love's strong
Babe ever since you gone
Maybe I held on, too long
Baby I held on, too long

You can tell how rich a man is
By the way he treats his brother
