Array ( [sid] => 12452 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => KING OF THE WORLD! [time] => 2003-02-11 22:40:00 [hometext] => [bodytext] => Caves full of diamonds.
Barns full of gold
You could have chosen
Another to hold.

If riches were lasting
While living on Earth,
What shall become them
And what be their worth?

Can riches sing songs
That do soothe in the night?
Will wealth guarantee you
Treat each neighbor right?

Will a kiss on the cheek
When we’re in sorrow not rare,
Be less of a treasure
Than the shilling one spared?

Will the wealth of Fort Knox
Bring one back from the ground?
Will it buy our redemption
Where our spirits are found?

I may not have treasures,
Or wear jewelry or ring.
But because of your love dear,
I do feel like a king!
