They say you have it, The Midas touch A wish you wanted for years But now you see the downside when You can't dry your daughter's tears

Your fantasies gave all be realised Rich beyond wildest dreams So how is it this wonderful gift Is not as good as it seems?

You'll never be able to hold him Your beautiful newborn son Not unless you want him lifeless Glinting in the sun

You have everything now All you touch turns into gold But the problem is you're left alone Now your bed must be cold

Fame, success, money I think are highly overrated The risks posed to your normal life Are highly understated

You want to cast off your poorer self But you were richer then With family, love and trust You long for those times again.
