All He Had

He crossed his heart And made a promise That all his walls Would be demolished Said he'd build a new empire By the sweat of his brow But when he was finished There was nothing For all he had Was a bitter cup of gold Why gain the whole world if we lose our soul? And all he had Was an empty heart of holes Why gain the whole world if we lose our soul? Why gain the whole world if we lose our soul? Between love or money He'd choose the latter He said, "Just one more year And it will get better" But the higher that he climbed The lower he found himself And when he reached the top There was nothing For all he had Was a bitter cup of gold Why gain the whole world if we lose our soul? And all he had Was an empty heart of holes Why gain the whole world if we lose our soul? Why gain the whole world if we lose our soul? And for the first time he prayed, "Oh God, this can't be living; I fought, I paved my way, But I must've lost a step or two somewhere Oh, I must've lost a step or two somewhere"
