"riches i hold in light esteem"
Verse 1:
I've been searching for something
That's worth more than a trinket
But all I've found is a lot of wealth
That doesn't satisfy
Chorus:
So I'll hold onto my pride
And keep my heart unbroken
Because wealth won't buy me happiness
It's something I must create
Verse 2:
I've been trying to find a reason
To be filled with the bliss of a golden age
But I know it's only a dream
One day it might just come true
Chorus:
So I'll hold onto my pride
And keep my heart unbroken
Because wealth won't buy me happiness
It's something I must create
Bridge:
And as I wander through life
I'll keep my feet on solid ground
And never let go of my dreams
Because they're what make me whole
Chorus:
So I'll hold onto my pride
And keep my heart unbroken
Because wealth won't buy me happiness
It's something I must create (repeat)
Outro:
I'll hold onto my dreams
And hope they come true
And live a life of joy and love
With no need for wealth.
