Lyrics
We Were Wealth
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.
Though I am grown
I am living like a child now
I wish, I want
Giving myself everything
Fearing the release
Keeping the peace
Say, for instance
I pay money for an object
Sight unseen
How is it that it speaks for me
Borrowed never earned
In debt from birth
Fill the days at any cost and spent your earnings
Ease the losses
We were wealth and we were money
Of the world and needing nothing
