[Intro] What is a rich man If his soul is empty What is a rich man If he has nobody That gives him love People hear me now We need change We need wisdom We need love Are you ready Jah Rastafari [Verse 1] They build their kingdoms high on silver Counting fortunes through the night Trading honesty for power Losing every piece of light Every promise has a price tag Every truth is bought and sold But no treasure lasts forever When your heart has turned to stone [Pre-Chorus] You can own the world Yet still be poor If love Don't live inside your door [Chorus] Money is the root of evil When your heart serves the gold Money is the root of evil When compassion leaves your soul Stand for truth Stand for life Don't let greed control your eyes The richest man Keeps the fire alive (The richest man) [Verse 2] Children dreaming of tomorrow Need more hope than diamond rings Every dollar without purpose Cannot buy the joy it brings Plant your wealth inside the people Lift the weak instead of pride For the treasure that lasts forever Lives within, not locked inside [Bridge] No chain Can buy freedom No throne Can buy peace No gold Can replace A soul That believes [Chorus] Money is the root of evil When your soul begins to fade Money is the root of evil When humanity is traded Choose your heart Choose your way Let your spirit lead today No amount Can ever buy The love we leave behind (The love we leave behind) [Outro] The love we leave behind The love we leave behind
