There was a boy, he had a dream
Of silver coins and golden gleam
He chased the dollar, chased the dime
Believed that money was sublime
He worked his fingers to the bone
Built an empire on his own
But every night he felt alone
The boy with a heart of stone
He thought that money made him strong
But found out he'd been wrong all along
In a world where love and laughter reign
He learned that wealth can't ease the pain
He bought the finest things in life
A mansion high, the brightest lights
But empty rooms and hollow halls
Echoed back his lonely calls
One day he saw a child at play
In simple joy, with skies so gray
And in that moment, it was clear
What he had lost was oh so near
He thought that money made him strong
But found out he'd been wrong all along
In a world where love and laughter reign
He learned that wealth can't ease the pain
The boy looked deep inside his soul
A heart once cold began to thaw
He reached out to the world anew
And found a love so pure and true
Now he spends his days in cheer
With friends and family near
No longer does he chase the gold
He's rich in love, a heart of gold
He thought that money made him strong
But found out he'd been wrong all along
In a world where love and laughter reign
He learned that wealth can't ease the pain
The boy looked deep inside his soul
A heart once cold began to thaw
He reached out to the world anew
And found a love so pure and true
The boy looked deep inside his soul
A heart once cold began to thaw
He reached out to the world anew
He's rich in love, so pure and true
Now he spends his days in cheer
With friends and family near
No longer does he chase the gold
He's rich in love, a heart of gold
