[Verse]
The streets are cold but my heart is colder
Chasing gold as the nights grow older
Empty pockets ain't the real chain
It's the soul that’s lost in endless pain
[Chorus]
The poorest man ain’t the one with no gold
It’s the one whose heart is bitter and cold
Without the light to guide the way
The riches of the world just fade to gray
[Verse 2]
I’ve seen kings with crowns of despair
And beggars with peace beyond compare
It’s not the wealth you hold in your hand
But the love you find that makes you stand
[Bridge]
Oh the emptiness money can’t erase
Without God there’s a hollow space
You can fill your life with all you see
But nothing fills eternity
[Chorus]
The poorest man ain’t the one with no gold
It’s the one whose heart is bitter and cold
Without the light to guide the way
The riches of the world just fade to gray
[Outro]
So seek the truth and hold it tight
Find your purpose in the holy light
For the poorest soul isn’t broke or weak
It’s the one who’s lost what we all should seek
