about

From the album Home At Last, but fading out around thirty seconds earlier

lyrics

Well I got something that I think you’ll want
It’s not for sale, it can’t be bought
Lean closer, let me fill you in
Baby you need a friend, yeah
You've got money, you've got diamond rings
You’re finding out that don’t mean a thing
What good’s the soul that cannot sing

So take a chance, take a chance with me
Open your eyes and you will see
Yeah, I own nothing but I’m a wealthy man
I’ll share it with you if you take my hand
Your daddy’s money gonna give you the blues
Tell your mamma take her hands off of you, wo-oh
Pick up the cross, God’ll see you through

You know I love you baby
I love you hard and I love you long
And I don’t want this love to perish
So listen to the message and the music
And the lyrics of this song

Yeah

A camel through a needle’s eye, mmm
Not all the rich have to die
Follow closely, do not stray
You can probably keep the money
Just give your soul away, ye-ah yeah
Don’t negotiate, just stop and pray
Lift your head up to heaven and say
Please forgive me, take these things away

And then keep walking
Walk tall doll
Carry that cross
A light unto your path
A lamp unto your feet
You fall down
Get back up again
It’s foolishness to them that perish [Spoken]

Yeah yeah ah-ya-ah
Yeah yeah yeah-ah-ah-ah

I’m gonna love you till your dying day
Till you're born again or turn me away
It’s up to you, there’s nothing left to say
Hmm mm mm mm just keep walking
