I traveled halfway across the world to see a sage I heard he lived like such a poor man in this day and age I said, where’s your leather couches where’s your golden chandelier Where’s your walk-in closet for all that stuff you could wear Well all you got is that suitcase my friend, ain’t that true I said, yeah but you know that I’m just passing through That’s when he said… I’m just like you, just passing through just like you My heart wants to feel something that’s real And my mind hopes to find treasures of another kind And if you had my eyes you’d see a palace For you and me Although he’s been forever living in this town People say he never really settled down They say, where’s your leather couches where’s your golden chandelier Where’s your walk-in closet for all that stuff you could wear The neighbors talk but they don’t understand The things he’s collecting you can’t hold in your hand Like he said… I’m just like you, just passing through just like you My heart wants to feel something that’s real And my mind hopes to find treasures of another kind And if you had my eyes you’d see a palace For you and me
