Silver And GoldWell I met an old man walking down the streetHis clothes were torn and tattered with sandals on his feet And I stopped to help him and lend him a hand He said I love you so much but you must understand Silver and gold might buy you a home But things of this world they won't last you long And time has a way of turning us old And time can't be bought back with silver and gold And he said to me let's rest for a while Cause I have some good news to share with you child He said you can't change this old world the people need to know That a dear Savior died here a long long time ago And silver and gold might buy you a home... His eyes shown like diamonds and his smile was heaven sent His hair was long and flowing and his back was slightly bent And I knew he knew it cause that day I changed As I watched him walk on I forgot to get his name He said silver and gold can't buy you a home When this life has ended and your time is gone But you can live in a world where you'll never grow old And things can't be bought with silver and gold And time can't be bought back with silver and gold |
