"Don't spend your life chasing gold / For you only buy what you get sold / And you only have what you can hold / Don't live your years with a worried mind / Over what you'll lose or leave behind / For you only keep what you can find / Don't you live your years with a worried mind / Don't spend your days with a troubled soul / Filling voids and plugging holes / Let go of what you can't control / Don't you spend your days with a troubled soul / For there's no sense, there's no rhyme and no reason... Don't walk your road with a heavy heart / Or lose your light out in the dark/ For every day's a brand new start." ~ "Chasing Gold" by Passenger
