All that gold! All that gold! I wonder if rich people know what to do with
their gold! Do they know how a child could be fed? Do rich people know? Do
they know that a house can be kept warm all day with burning logs? Do rich
people know? Do they know how to roast sweet corn on the fire? Do they
know? Do they know how to fill a courtyard with doves? Do they know? Do
they know? Do they know how to milk a clover fed goat? Do they know? Do
they know how to spice hot wine on cold winter nights? Do they know? Do
they know? All that gold! All that gold! Oh, what i could do for my child with
that gold!
Why should it all go to a child they don?t even know? They are asleep. Do
dare I? If I?ll take some they?ll never miss it...
For my child... for my child...for my child...for my child...
