You'Re Worth More Than

You're worth more than
All the pounds
And carats of gold.

You're worth more than
All the riches
The world could ever hold.

You're worth more than
What they make you believe.
You're worth more than
Anything so please don't grieve.

If you were gone
The world would be shaken.
A much worse dimension
So much more forsaken.

If you were gone
So many eyes
Would be clouded and lost.
And if you were gone
We'd lose what we treasure most.

If you were gone
The world would go astray.
All joy, all smiles, all laughter,
Would be gone in a day.

If you were gone,
You'd waste your only life.
So I beg you, please,
Don't pick up that knife.
