Rich poor

(Verse 1) Two sides of the city, divided by a street One side shines with towers, the other can't compete Fancy cars and laughter, in buildings made of glass Barefoot children playing, shadows where the sunshine can't pass (Chorus) Rich man, poor man, on the same ground we stand But the opportunities, held out by fortune's hand Are far from equal, a story ever old A tale of haves and have-nots, in a world of dreams untold (Verse 2) The rich man worries 'bout investments, and the market's daily trend The poor man worries 'bout his dinner, will there be enough to lend One counts his stock options, the other counts his beans One dreams of bigger mansions, the other just of peaceful scenes (Chorus) Rich man, poor man, on the same ground we stand But the opportunities, held out by fortune's hand Are far from equal, a story ever old A tale of haves and have-nots, in a world of dreams untold (Bridge) But kindness can be a bridge, a gap that love can mend A helping hand extended, a friendship that transcends The walls that wealth has built, the burdens poverty brings A smile that costs us nothing, the joy that sharing sings (Chorus) Rich man, poor man, on the same ground we stand With hearts that yearn for something, more than just a grain of sand Equality a promise, a future we can mold Where dreams are shared by all, and stories yet unfold
