dont let money blind you

They say money buys happiness But to me its just nonsense It cant buy things that are not From a loving caring heart That really shows how you feel Emotions pure honest and real Not an item that you find On a shelf--it isn't kind To try and buy someones affection Your going in the wrong direction A pocket full of green money Is never a reason to be A soulless shell who is blind To the world of being kind Using money as a crutch Will not let you feel much Surrounded by a lot of things That aren't very comforting So please open up your eyes Look and you will be surprised At a world of pure beauty That can not be bought by money A family to love and hold That won't leave you in the cold Flowers look like pretty rainbows Stars in the night sky that glows Trees red, yellow and green That make a pretty outside scene Gorgeous birds and butterflies Soaring high into the sky Please open your eyes wide Taking a long stroll outside Finding new things everyday That are free--you will not pay Money's only good for bills Or if your sick needing pills But please don't get in too deep That you have to crawl and creep Out of a big whole so far down That you suffocate and drown Inside a pit scary and dark Money built around your heart
