''Fortunes of Thought''

Audio: 42-fortunes of thought.mp3


Why others have much and some not at all
my mind the question returns to haunt
The haves seek a world they've been told is their right
those without have memories of want

Your words and ideas about wealth will affect
like chains or wings will bind or free
To put yourself in league with moguls and monarchs
live from the feeling that this is for me!

For the one thing that separates the rich from the poor
is not from brick, wood nor steel wrought
It's while some build worlds of lack with beliefs
others build fortunes with thought!
