Be Wise

What really can wealth do in this world?
And where does its power extend?
If all things are bought, if all things are sold
In what way then will the world end?

Dreams, illusions and ambitions
Can sometimes lead us to the road of destructions
Aims, goals and principles
What's the use if love is it cripples

There should be no room for confusions
If what are we supposed to choose
If it's love, if it's wealth needs a wise decision
Be smart, be witty so tears won't ooze

Always remember what love can do that wealth can't offer
It can save, it can heal, while wealth can't do any better
So realize that love's spell is lasting and infinite
Be reminded that wealth's power is fleeting and indefinite
