Lyrics
Financial Reign
Words and Music by Linda Cullum
He lives inside a mason glass jar
He sees the world but never touches it
He's very busy juggling his money around
Carefully seeking the best financial deal
He has a family and a waterfront house
They live together in separate worlds
His children come to him and ask him out
He sees them speaking but cannot hear their words
He feels the world through his pocketbook
What does it mean to feel it through the heart?
He truly believes if he were to look
He's lose control of his financial reign
Financial reign
At times I see him spinning so fast inside
My words of wisdom turn into a shout
I call out to him "Hey Daddy slow down"
But all he sees is the movement of my mouth
He feels the world through his pocketbook
What does it mean to feel it through the heart?
He truly believes if he were to look
He's lose control of his financial reign
Financial reign
I often wonder what will become of him
Will he ever know the light of life?
Everyday the lessons hover outside
They wave at him beyond the glass jar wall
He feels the world through his pocketbook
What does it mean to feel it through the heart?
He truly believes if he were to look
He's lose control of his financial reign
Financial reign
