How much is enough?
Three meals a day, a new sportscar
A weekend away to places afar
Chains of gold and diamond rings
A pool, a garden, a house fit for kings
A new shiny thing thats all the rage
Your photo on the latest front page
A bike, a boat, a camping bus
A bank account with a great big plus
Will we ever be satisfied?
Or will something new catch our eye
And suck the cash out of our pocket
faster than a speeding rocket.
We toil and work all day long
To earn the money that is so soon gone
On things that we don`t really need
To scratch the itch of our civilized greed
Minutes to hours, hours to days
Our given time soon slips away
and all that we have then achieved
Insignificant now, for we must leave
One day, too late we will realize
With failing breath and weary eyes
That true wealth is measured
In the currency of time
