(Kerry Livgren)
|
The stage is set, the race is on
|
To drink the cup 'til every drop is gone
|
And when you make it to the top
|
The hunger doesn't stop
|
You climb the ladder to success
|
The way the world defines it more or less
|
You find the grass is greener still
|
On someone else's hill
|
|
(Chorus)
|
Diamonds and pearls
|
Silver and gold
|
Soon fade away
|
Empty and cold
|
Nothing remains of the things that we strive to attain
|
Only the love that is lasting will not be in vain
|
|
They say that pride's before the fall
|
The stakes are high, you know who takes it all
|
To make it through the needle's eye
|
You just can't live a lie
|
|
(Chorus)
|
(Instrumental)
|
