~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Will you work a lifetime for treasures that won't last
Throwing out the values held sacred in the past
Trading children's legacies for newer, larger, faster
Stealing from the future and making gold your master
Almost lost the bluebirds, can we save the honeybees
Here the air's so bad some days you can't enjoy the breeze
Everywhere new houses, so close they almost meet
Tear down every old building, race up and down the streets
What's the worth of wind, what's the price for seas
Tell the children we have bartered off their skies and trees
Sell your soul for gold, give it all away
Or save the things that matter most for another day [harmonica break]
I can do with less, only love will last
Living well is not about the treasures we amass
What I choose to leave behind is up to me at last
All these "things" won't mean a thing and only love will last
Simply shall I live and simply shall I leave
When I'm finished here I shall be ready for reprieve
Plant me where wild roses twine and tall green grasses roll
Underneath some birdsongs, in a little hole
#What's the worth of wind, what's the price for seas
The wind is priceless to a person cooling in the breeze
And only God and children know the value of a sea
Only God and children know the value of a sea [harmonica break#
