IVORY TOWER

IVORY TOWER

WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON

2019

GO AHEAD AND PASS THE DAY

ANYWAY YOU PLEASE

NOWHERE YOU HAVE TO BE

NO ONE THAT YOU HAVE TO SEE

IF YOU DON'T WANT TO

FREE AS THE AIR IN THE SKY

AND DEEP AS BLUE

 YOU KNOW ITS TRUE

YOU HAVE AN ANSWER

BUT THERE'S

 NO ONE THERE TO TELL

JUST THE ECHO OF YOUR WORDS

IN AN EMPTY HALL 

YOU LOOK INTO THE MIRROR

YOU STAND UP STRAIGHT AND TALL

NOTHING TO WORRY

NO CONCERNS AT ALL

YOU COUNT YOUR MONEY

AND WATCH IT GROW

YOU ALWAYS MAKE SURE

 YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW

YOU CHECK YOUR BALANCE

AND SMILE

YOU'LL CHECK IT AGAIN IN AWHILE

YOU LOOK DOWN ON EVERYONE

FROM YOUR IVORY TOWER

GETTING RICHER BY THE HOUR

YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT ITS LIKE

TO BE A DOLLAR FROM THE END

HUNGRY EMPTY

 NO PROMISE OF ANOTHER DAY

YOU DON'T KNOW

YOU CAN'T TELL

YOU'VE NEVER FELL

YOU SPEND YOUR TIME ALONE

ITS HARD TO LOVE

 A HEART OF STONE

YOU MIGHT BE RICH

BUT YOU POOR FOOL

ALL ON YOUR OWN

TRAPPED IN A VAULT

WITH ALL YOUR MONEY

BUT SO WHAT

WHY WOULD YOU

 HELP SOMEONE IN NEED

ARE YOU AFRAID

TO FIND OUT WHAT IT FEELS LIKE

TO DO A GOOD DEED 

GO AHEAD

AND PASS THE DAY

ANYWAY YOU PLEASE

IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE
