Suffering to Pearls
Turning Life's Struggles into Pearls of Wisdom
Lyrics
I wish that my money
I desire that my wealth
Was an old-time conservative
Were conservative and traditional
My problems would be cut in half
Then my problems would be halved
It would have a big family
It would have a large family
Make money like bunnies
Generate money prolifically
And I could get right back on track
So I could quickly recover
The problem with that
However, the issue is
Is that money don't love well
Money doesn't love genuinely
They'd probably break up real soon
It might soon fall apart
Then I would have
Resulting in additional problems
All of these problems
Compounded by financial woes
Plus a dollar that's singing the blues
Also, a dollar that represents sadness
Truth be told
To be honest
My cash ain't the issue
Money isn't the primary concern
I've always had food on my plate
I've always had basic needs met
But no money can buy me
Yet no wealth can grant
Nor doctor prescribe me
Nor can a doctor prescribe
The the pill that'll cure my soul's ache
A remedy for my soul's pain
You can try out some yoga
Yoga might help
Or pop extra Prozac
Or taking more Prozac
But one leads to the next
But one leads to another
As soon as I look
When I seek
For the happiness book
The guide to happiness
I give up what's real for the best
I sacrifice authenticity for perceived best
So now I'm done searching
Now, I'm done seeking
For the gold for joy merchant
Wealth in exchange for joy
I'll have to just settle for less
I'll settle for less
In case you wondering
If you're curious
The state of my crumbling
About my deteriorating state
I hope I would answer with this
I hope to answer with this sentiment
No man's got it easy
No one has an easy life
No man can hide from this world
No one can escape the realities of this world
But all men were born to choose freely
However, everyone has the freedom to choose
To turn that suffering to pearls
To transform hardships into valuable lessons
No man's got it easy
No one has an easy life
No man can hide from this world
No one can escape the realities of this world
But all men were born to choose freely
However, everyone has the freedom to choose
To turn that suffering to pearls
To transform hardships into valuable lessons
To turn that suffering to pearls
-To turn
To transform
That suffering
Hardships
To pearls
Into something precious like pearls
