Couplet 1

There was a rich man
He had all he could ever want
Had more than he could ever need
We was living in luxury
Oh he didn't see the need
Of the begger on the street
He was blinded by his greed

Refrain

There was a rich man
There was a poor man
There was a world in between
One was living out his dreams
One was begging on his knees

Couplet 2

There was a poor man
He had nothing he could call his own
Had no place he could call his home
He was the picture of poverty
Oh then the angels came
One went up to see Abraham
And the other went down to a firey grave

Pré-Refrain

Now everything has changed

Refrain

There was a rich man
There was a poor man
There was a world in between
One was living out his dreams
One was begging on his knees

Pont

You can't go back
No you can't go back
You better tell them that
Cause you can't go back
You can't go back
No you can't go back
You better tell them that
Cause you can't go back

Refrain

There was a rich man
There was a poor man
There was a world in between
One was living out his dreams
One was begging on his knees
