All He Had - All Our Achilles Heels EP

5. All He Had

[Verse 1]

He crossed his heart

And made a promise

That all his walls

Would be demolished

Said he’d build a new empire

By the sweat of his brow

But when he was finished

There was nothing

[Chorus]

For all he had

Was a bitter cup of gold

Why gain the whole world if we lose our soul?

And all he had

Was an empty heart of holes

Why gain the whole world if we lose our soul?

[Verse 2]

Between love or money

He’d choose the latter

He said, “Just one more year

And it will get better”

But the higher that he climbed

The lower he found himself

And when he reached the top

There was nothing

[Bridge]

And for the first time he prayed,

“Oh God, this can’t be living;

I fought, I paved my way,

But I must’ve lost a step or two somewhere

Oh, I must’ve lost a step or two somewhere”
