JIM MESSINA
"Money Alone"
(Messina)

Abraham, I see your essence shining like a star
Like a beacon in the sky, well it's a-showin' me where you are
If I could have a dream come true, I'd wish for you to see
The beauty that's deep within your heart, that money alone won't free.

It'll never free the beauty that's deep within
No money alone won't free (money alone won't free)
Free the beauty that's deep within
'Cause money alone won't free.

(It will never free, money alone).

How does it feel to be on the wheel and running in the race?
I bet that you would like to rest but you're afraid to lose your place
Oh, long ago, someone said to me : 'I'll never work like you'
'Well, ain't it strange how money can change a man and his point of view?'

But it won't free the beauty that's deep within
No money alone won't free (money alone won't free)
Free the beauty that's deep within
'Cause money alone won't free, no no no no (it will never free)
You can't depend on (money alone).

Ah, in this world of broad extremes outside of nature's gate
Lives the world of buy and sell (where money plays with fate)
Ah, some believe that money can buy most anything it sees
But it won't fit Mother Nature's look, money is not the key.

And it won't free the beauty that's deep within
No money alone won't free (money alone won't free)
Free the beauty that's deep within
'Cause money alone won't free, no no no no (it will never free)
You can't depend on (money alone).
