Easy Street

Hey, Johnny had a good idea, he wanted to make it big
He sold all he had and he played the stock market gig
Bought some corporate stock, thought he'd be rich in a day
But "Mr. Golden Parachute" chased all Johnny's dreams away

You see, dreams often fail, and desires they turn to dust
Even the best planned schemes take on water and rust

Where your heart is, that's where your treasure will be
While some chasing after gold end up drown in the sea, my friend
You know it's not easy to pursue forgiveness and love
But when it comes to life and peace, you gotta look to the Lord above

I said, this whole world turns 'round, you know it's not easy street
All the gold in the world can't give you heart one single beat
Where your heart is, that's where your treasure will be
While some chasing after gold end up drowned in the sea

Yea

Yea

Now even the preacher man, the preacher man runs a scam
"Tithes and offerings" he says, "are God's get rich plan"
Non-profit greed, all dressed up in a suit
He just doesn't understand that idolatry lies at the root

Now, wall street can't save you and trusting in man will fail
Only by understanding the truth will peace prevail

Where your heart is, that's where your treasure will be
While some chasing after gold end up drowned in the sea, my friend
You know it's not easy to pursue forgiveness and love
But when it comes to life and peace, you gotta look to the Lord above

I said, this old world turns 'round, you know it's not easy street
All the gold in the world can't give you heart one single beat
Where your heart is, that's where your treasure will be
While some chasing after gold end up drowned in the sea
