From Rags to Riches
Journey of Transformation: From Rags to Riches with The Blue Nile
Lyrics
I leave the home of a lifetime
I depart from a cherished home
Like any son
Similar to any son
I have hope and good intentions
I possess hope and positive intentions
And wandering into the daybreak
Exploring into the beginning of the day
I learn as I go
I acquire knowledge through experience
To fall laughing into the water
To joyfully plunge into uncertainty
Sticks and the stones are your broken promises
Harsh words and betrayals symbolized by sticks and stones
We wait too long to go from rags to riches
We procrastinate the transition from poverty to wealth
I am in love, I am in love with a feeling
I am in love with a profound emotion
A wild wild sky, a wild wild sky
An untamed and limitless sky
Fences and tumble down bridges surround and divide
Barriers and deteriorating bridges encircle and separate
I wear a coat of many colours, of many colours
I bear a diverse array of experiences
The sticks and the stones, our broken promises
The hurts and betrayals we've encountered
I wait no longer to go from rags to riches
No more delay; I transition from poverty to wealth
People are leaving the squalor
People are escaping from poverty
They're leaving the houses and fires
They abandon their homes and fires
And starting out
Embarking on a journey
We find the waiting country
We discover the anticipated destination
Sticks and the stones are your broken promises
Harsh words and betrayals persist
I wait no longer, I go from rags to riches
No more waiting; I transition from poverty to wealth
From rags to riches
From destitution to affluence
I go from rags to riches
I progress from poverty to wealth
Go from rags to riches
Advancing from poverty to wealth
From rags to riches
From poverty to wealth
