Camel Through a Needle's Eye - Larry Norman

Well I got something that I think you’ll want

It’s not for sale, it can’t be bought

Lean closer let me fill you in

Baby you need a friend

You got money, you got diamond rings

You’re finding out they don’t mean a thing

What good’s the soul that cannot sing?

So take a chance, take a chance with me

Open your eyes and you will see

I own nothing but I’m a wealthy man

I’ll share it with you if you’ll take my hand

Your daddy’s money gonna give you the blues

Tell your mama take her hands off you

Pick up the cross, God’ll see you through

You know I love you baby

I’ll love you hard and I’ll love you long

And I don’t want this love to perish

So listen to the message and the music

And the lyrics of this song

A camel through a needle’s eye

Not all the rich have to die

Follow closely, do not stray

You can probably keep the money

Just give your soul away

Don’t negotiate, just stop and pray

Lift your head up to heaven and say

Please forgive me, take these things away

And then keep walking, walk tall, doll

Carry that cross

A light unto your path, a lamp unto your feet

You fall down, get back up again

It’s foolishness to them that perish

I’m gonna love you 'til your dying day

'Til you’re born again or turn me away

It’s up to you, there’s nothing left to say

Just keep walking
