Money
This is my story
In truth most lovely
I come here to be
One with life's beauty
The path I take here
Funds my sure good cheer
I seek truth that lights
The way beyond sight
Through pain and dismay
I search for a way
The dark night is deep
Yet I find no sleep
I fall into dreams
And wake in a dream
Now adrift at sea
Rough waves swallow me
I struggle to be
Cling to thoughts that free
Madness in such storms
Pain confronts the norms
Nightmares turn on me
Yes now I can see
Each day brings surprise
Life hurls price for prize
Here is currency
Money for honey
Herein lies the catch
Trade each batch for batch
Seek that fading fate
Therein lies the gate
I awake from trip
Try and gain a grip
