Rich man grew old
on a mansion
on the top of the hill
Now he's sittin' at a table
with his lawyer
Over his will 'cause he's ill
The kids don't call
They're waitin' on a man to die
He's gonna leave
'em all a little somethin'
But they're gonna
be real surprised
There's a poor man livin'
on a budget
at the bottom of that hill
He's got a wife and two kids
And a worried mind
'Bout how he's gonna
pay the bills
But only the rich man knows
See that's where
a lot of his money goes
To a man that brought
wood in the winter
To take a little weight
off of his shoulders
There's this thing called
wantin' it and havin' it all
If you're gonna get there
you're gonna have to want
First you'll have to crawl
Oh you know gotta do it
step by step
Miss one and you'll
fall into this web
Called wantin'
and havin' it all
The poor man has everythin'
that the rich man wants
He's got a love in his life
in his heart
He's got a house
he calls home
The rich man owns everythin'
for miles around
But what he needs
it can't be bought
It has to be found
His rich kids think
that they're better
'Cause they're better off
So they grew up thinkin'
And now he thinks
that's all his fault
So while there's still time
The daddy that they
nickled and dimed
Is gonna make 'em learn
and take a turn
And stand in line
For this thing called
wantin' it and havin' it all
If you're gonna get there
you're gonna have to want
First you'll have to crawl
Oh you know gotta do it
step by step
Miss one and you'll
fall into this web
Called wantin'
and havin' it all
See life's full of changes
And wantin' right now
what you only see
in your dreams
Know you don't like it
And think it's
the strangest thing
you've ever seen
There ain't nothin' you
can do about it
You see there's this thing
called wantin' it and havin' it all
If you're gonna get there
you're gonna have to want
First you'll have to crawl
Oh you know gotta do it
step by step
Miss one and you'll
fall into this web
Called wantin'
and havin'
This thing called
wantin' it and havin' it all
If you're gonna get there
you're gonna have to want
First you'll have to crawl
Oh you know gotta do it
step by step
Miss one and you'll
fall into this web
Called wantin'
and havin' it all
