Eye of the Needle

Rich man, tell me what do you love

and what's the root of all evil?

Your soul cannot rise above

until you go through the eye of the needle.

Rich man, rich man, tell me why,

why do you hate the poor so much?

Is it because in their hungry eyes you see a mirror

that shows you yourself so much clearer

than you ever wanted to see?

And can you see how deep is their need?

And can you see how deep is your greed?

Rich man, tell me...

Rich man, rich man, tell me why,

why do you have to have more and more?

What is it for?

For from the one to whom more is given,

more is expected, or so it's written

in all of the ancient books.

So take a look at the wisdom of old.

So take a look at what you need to know.

Rich man, tell me...
