There's More To Life

We live in an age where some sports people earn millions And the hero always kicks the winning goal But there is more to life than sports and money There's music it is good food for the soul. There's more to life than fast cars, boats and houses And keeping up with the Joneses next door There's song and dance and spiritual enhancement If all were alike then life would be a bore. There's more to life than booze and sex and gambling There's other things to do in leisure hours There's path to walk on through woods and by lake shore And there's love of Nature, beasts and trees and flowers. There's more to life than pubs where mates are bonded Where men assemble after work each day The Spring is almost here and the birds are singing And the nearest wood is not that far away. There should be more to life than work and money So many other things that one might name But work and money give to people status And those two are important just the same. There's more to life than earning your first million Though to many that would be the winning goal There's song and dance and pleasant walks in Nature And there's music it is good food for the soul.
