Lyrics
VERSE ONE
EVERYONE FEELS THE PRESSURE,
EVERYONE DREAMS TO TRULY THRIVE.
EVERYONE BLEEDS FOR
TREASURE,
AND LET THE DAYS SLIP ON BY.
ITS NOT ABOUT THE MONEY,
ITS MORE ABOUT THE FIRE.
ITS LESS ABOUT POSSESSIONS,
ITS ABOUT LIVING WITH DESIRE.
CHORUS
WHEN YOU GO, WHEN YOU GO.
I HOPE THERE'S SOMETHING WAITING ON THE OTHERSIDE.
WHEN YOU GO, WHEN YOU GO.
I HOPE THERE'S SOMETHING WAITING
ON THE OTHERSIDE.
VERSE TWO
IF CASH IS YOUR SOLE OBSESSION.
IF STATUS IS YOUR EGO'S NEED.
WHEN YOUR SOUL NEEDS DIRECTION,
HOW EASILY YOU'LL BE DECEIVED.
YEAH, WE ALL UNDERSTAND THE PRESSURE.
WE UNDERSTAND THE URGE TO SUCCEED.
BUT YOUR SOUL IS NOT BOUND AND TETHERED,
WHEN YOUR SMALL DESIRES EXPLODE INTO GREED.
CHORUS
