Lyrics

(Verse 1)
Golden towers pierce the bleeding sky,
While children's stomachs echo empty cries.
One man's fortune weighs thousands of lives,
As humanity's promise slowly dies.

Numbers dancing on his crystal screen,
Each digit worth thousands of broken dreams.
While parents choose between warmth and bread,
His wealth could aid empathy's spread!

(Pre-Chorus)
Count the zeros! Count the tears!
One man's glory, is billions in fear!
How much is enough? How much is too much?
When paradise waits for empathy's touch!?

(Chorus)
A trillionaire beast on a mountain of gold!,
While the world grows hungry, desperate and cold!
With a fraction of fortune, we'd heal every scar,
What we allow, is who we truly are!
No more children drinking poisoned streams,
No more shattered, hopeful dreams!
Paradise calls from beyond his gate,
But greed may have sealed humanity's fate!

(Verse 2)
Satellites mapping his vast domain,
While refugees flee through acid rain!
Technology's promise, twisted and sold,
Hearts turn to circuits, souls turn to gold!

Imagine schools that could light every mind,
The medicines healing all humankind.
Hoarding such wealth, we’ll not condone,
No child left hungry, cold, or alone!

(Pre-Chorus)
Share the bounty! Break the chains!
Wash away our endless pains!
Every person deserves to thrive,
In a world that love could bring alive!

(Chorus)
A trillionaire beast on a mountain of gold!,
While the world's empathy is being sold!
Leaving humanity with little hope to grow,
But, what I've learned through grief, is you make your own.
No more children starving in silence!
I say, no more ignoring our presence!
I say, we can have a more equal world,
But but not if wealth is all squirrelled!

(Bridge)[spoken]
One trillion dollars... do you know what that means?
End global hunger... still billions to spare,
Clean water for all... still billions remain,
House every homeless... barely a dent,
Cure every disease... money left over.
Imagine transforming this world, into the wonder it could be!

The money bin grows higher,
While compassion grows lighter!
We're told this is acceptable,
That this isn't detestable!

(Final Chorus)
But we are legion, and power is ours!
No single soul should command all the stars!
The wealth of the world belongs to us all,
Together we'll rise, together we call!
For a world where children don't cry from need,
Where every heart can plant love's seed!
Paradise waits beyond the gate,
Where together we'll choose humanity's fate!

(Outro)
The first trillionaire stands alone...,
On a mountain built from flesh and bone!
But below, eight billion hearts beat as one,
And say, "This awakening, HAS JUST BEGUN!!"
