A wise man said to me
Give all your love for free
And what you're given in return
Is more than you can earn
And when you're ready to find real wealth
Put another before yourself
Cause it's lonely at the top
Until we all have got a spot
Hey now, would you like a seat?
You been walking for a while
Do you need something to drink?
I've been waiting on a smile
Just to see what you would think
It's the closest thing to magic
That my eyes have ever seen
Oh lord, my life feels so complete
A little bit of salt
With a little bit of sweet
And a whole lotta laughs
Wrapped up in family
Yeah I'm stepping on the gas
Til my dreams aren't in my sleep, yeah
A wise man said to me
Give all your love for free
And what you're given in return
Is more than you can earn
And when you're ready to find real wealth
Put another before yourself
Cause it's lonely at the top
Until we all have got a spot
Oh boy, I'm turning up the heat
Gotta keep it buzzin'
Like a busy bee working in the street
Cause I find that nothing is the something
That I need to be complete
Yeah, I'm rolling to the rhythm
Of a never ending beat, yeah
OK, love is all you need
Everybody says it but the doing's incomplete
There's a million lonely people that are ready to receive
Don't be afraid, there's a person out there that you're about to meet
Yeah
There's not enough fancy things
Not enough gold or diamond rings
No amount of money could ever buy
The evening glow or the nighttime sky
And when it all comes to an end
And all that's left is love and friends
And all the things you loved so much
Will always be a part of us
A wise man said to me
Give all your love for free
And what you're given in return
Is more than you can earn
And when you're ready to find real wealth
Put another before yourself
Because it's lonely at the top
Until we all have got a spot
