Destroy
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
There was a rich man who had a lot of horses and cattle
And poultry innumerable
And there was poor girl who had only one lamb
Who was eating out of her hand
Is it good to destroy all you cherish
Is it good to destroy all your dreams
Is it good to destroy everything you work for
To destroy everything
You were the rich man, having all the wonders of the world
I was the poor girl, who owned only her love
You took it from me, and enjoyed it and you had had a whim
Sacrifice the little thing that was mine
Is it good to destroy everything you cherish
Is it good to destroy all your dreams
Is it good to destroy everything you work for
To destroy everything
There was a rich man who had a lot of horses and cattle
And poultry innumerable
And there was poor girl who had only her love
You took it from me, and enjoyed it and you had had a whim
