Letras de Bread for the Body (and Food for the Soul) (demo)

Kris Kristofferson

I built my own chains in the land of the free
A slave to a job that meant nothing to me
With three shiny new cars and a split level home
To furnish the tomb I was dying to own
And one day I awakened with fear in my eye
Aware of a world that was passing me by
And I knew that my savings of silver and gold
Would mean not a thing when my body was cold

Because life is a song for the dying to sing
It′s got to have feeling to mean anything
And a man can get by without silver and gold
With bread for the body and song for the soul

I'm living my life by the lesson I′ve learned
And not looking back at the bridges I've burned
'Cause the time that we travel from cradle to grave
Was meant to be spent and not meant to be saved
And I know there are some who will say I′m a fool
But I don′t give a damn for the people who do
'Cause if down in the dungeon is where they belong
Well that′s their misfortune and none of my own

Because life is a song for the dying to sing
It's got to have feeling to mean anything
And a man can get by without silver and gold
With bread for the body and song for the soul
