Rich Man, Poor Man

Lyrics

Once was a rich man, strong and stable He had power Wouldn't even spare a crumb from his table He loved power, oh, power Once was a poor man, weak and fragile Just a beggar Sitting outside of the rich man's castle He was a beggar, a lowly beggar One man loses, one man gains Earthly possessions will pass away But finer than the finest gold Are heaven's treasures locked in your soul Rich man died with a fate infernal Nothing higher Standing on the brink of a life eternal He smelled fire, only fire Poor man died in a humble setting But he met the Father Looking through a chasm, he saw the rich man Begging for water, just one drop of water One man loses, one man gains Earthly possessions will pass away But finer than the finest gold Are heaven's treasures locked in your soul One man loses, one man gains Earthly possessions will pass away But finer than the finest gold Are heaven's treasures locked in your soul But finer than the finest gold Are heaven's treasures locked in your soul
