Story Behind The Song
I made a trip to the Caribean Sea and saw these people living on the beaches in carboard huts. I asked myself, who is the richest in life? that is where this song came from.

A Reggea song with catchey lyrics and a strong hook. Filled with thought provoking questions about who is really living in Paradise. Lots of very cool guitar playing.

Lyrics
Someday, if you ay
Take a trip to the Caribean Sea
You'll find the people there are a lot like you and me
Some live in cardboard, Cardboard Condos if I may
They sit on the beach and the waves take all their troubles away.
Cardboard Condos by the Sea
That is where I want to be
You know we hurry here and we hustle there
And sometimes we just don't get anywhere
And we may have a lot of things that we call nice
But they take two steps and they're in paradise
Cardboard condos by the sea
That is where I want to be
We live our lives running to and fro
Yeah, where we stop, nobody knows
What good does a man if he gains the whole world
And forfeits his soul
Someday, if I may, I'm going back to that Carribean Sea
You know the people there are not unlike you and me
Except we've got our houses and our cars and our craves
They've got the sand and the sea and the waves
