All I Need In This World Is the Fortune of Your Soul
Castles fall easily before your eyes
Pyramids are built for you with no surprise
Pearls are drowned without ever a care
Treasures are buried because they do not compare
Songs are silenced so your voice can be heard
Scrolls torn apart so I can hang on your word
Gems are cast away and easy to part
Legends forgotten because of your heart
Gold has no luster silver has no shine
The prize is the time that someday you'll be mine
Material things will make other men whole
All I need in this world is the fortune of your soul
