Money don't rule the World (Kosovo Benefit CD)

from Inside Outside by Karen Hunter

/

about

Recorded for World Vision as part of a fundraising effort towards the thousands fleeing war torn Kosovo.

lyrics

money don’t rule the world
my love can not be bought or stolen
friendship can not be bought or stolen
joy cannot be bought at any price

the things I love are valuable
like the pure note from the beautiful throat of a woman who was born to sing
or like the rhythmic swing or the shuffling beat of a man with a song inside of him
but money don’t rule the world
money don’t rule the world

life is more than survival
will someone tell that to the government
will someone tell that to the industries
some one tell that to the power company
that money don’t rule the world
money don’t rule the world

the things I need are important yes
like a roof above and a meal a day
well you might take those things away
but you’ll not get my hope that way
and you’ll not get my love that way

what is the measure of life ?
is it in your wallet ?
do we live in spite of the earth or are we a part of it ?

my love can not be bought or stolen
friendship can not be bought or stolen
joy cannot be bought at any price

money don’t rule the world
money don’t rule the world
