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

 (Chorus)
 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

 (Chorus)
 (Instrumental)
 (Chorus
