Woes and Wonders

Show me a city full of 
happiness, 
Then i will show you the 
effect of their weakness.
Show me a man who is full 
of himself, 
Then i will show you why 
he's a fool to himself.
Show me your success 
today, 
And i will show you your 
mistakes of yesterday.
Show me a community not 
far from the mountain, 
Then i will show you why 
their security is certain.
Show me a holy man, 
Then i will show you why 
he's called a human.
Show me a man who is not 
afraid of death, 
Then i will show him the 
theory of birth.
Show me an ocean of 
misery, 
Then i will show you how to 
swim in victory.
Tell me the meaning of ' 
STOP ', 
Then i will show you the 
way to the top.
Show me your best friend, 
Then i will show you where 
your dreams will end.
Show me a good and caring 
heart, 
And i will show you why it 
hasn't been torn apart.
Show me your hall of pain, 
Then i will show you all 
what u've gain.
Show me an exceptional 
reader, 
Then i will show you a great 
leader.
Show me a way to financial 
prosperity, 
Then i will show you a way 
to heavenly security.
Show me a great man of all 
time, 
Then i will show you his 
footprint on the sand of 
time.
Show me a problem you 
can't solve, 
Then i will show you why 
you haven't use the 
solution called love.
Show me a world full of 
fantasy, 
Then i will show you the 
pain behind a life full of 
ecstasy.
Show me a kingdom built 
with wrath, 
Then i will show you how 
much it is worth.
Show me a man with a 
problem free life, 
Then i will show you why 
he hasn't gotten a wife.
Show me all of earth's 
pleasure, 
Then i will show you why 
heaven is the place to be 
beyond all measure
