True Worth

[Verse 1]
In the city lights, where the towers touch the sky,
Rich folks sipping champagne, they’re living so high.
They look down on the sidewalk, where the broken dreams lie,
And they turn their noses up — can’t meet the poor guy’s eye.
They drive in their limos, windows all tinted black,
While I’m catching the bus, just trying to get back.
They say, “Stay in your lane,” like I’m off the right track,
But I’ve got a heart that beats — I’m not just a fact.
[Chorus]
Money can’t measure the soul, it can’t buy your worth,
Before the Lord above, we all walk the same Earth.
No gold in the grave, no cash in the sky,
We’re more than our wallets — let’s open our eyes.
[Verse 2]
She wears her diamonds, he flaunts his new car,
But when the night gets dark, they’re not that far.
Same fears, same tears, same questions inside,
“Am I loved? Am I seen?” — that’s where we all hide.
I’ve seen the kids with holes in their shoes,
Working twice as hard just to pay for the news.
And the ones with the yachts, they still feel the blues—
Cause you can’t fill the void with a bank account’s views.
[Chorus]
Money can’t measure the soul, it can’t buy your worth,
Before the Lord above, we all walk the same Earth.
No gold in the grave, no cash in the sky,
We’re more than our wallets — let’s open our eyes.
[Bridge]
Hey, rich man, listen, take a step this way,
Look me in the face — what do you see today?
Not a number, not a label, not a price I pay,
Just a human being — same as you, same as they.
We all breathe the same air, we all cry the same tears,
We all need a hand when the world disappears.
So before you judge, before you turn away,
Remember: we’re all just one step from yesterday.
[Outro]
When the final bell rings, and we rise or we fall,
There’ll be no balance sheet, no mansion, no hall.
Just the love we’ve given, the kindness we’ve shown,
That’s the true richness — we’re never alone.
