Poor Bishop Hooper
Treasure
[Verse 1]
I am moving from the valley, I am breaking up my land
I am giving every title to any stranger, any friend
I was tired of the chains I had welcomed, I'd put myself in
I was boarding up the windows 'til a buyer finally came
But I wouldn't wait on any man to keep me from my way
I left a courtyard full of idols, kept a pocket full of empty space
But the day I made that trade was the day I felt safe

[Verse 2]
What's a house more than a cave with a door to lock you in?
What's a bath more than a rain, without the fun of it?
I was seeing for the first time everything that I had long missed
When the Son of Man came to me and spokе plainly of this

[Chorus]
There's a treasurе waiting for me on high
When to glory, I go when I die
Oh, that splendor will never fail in it's shine
In the never-ending light

[Verse 3]
I took the gun from this world's worries, took the knife from his cold hand
Now I know that all his riches can never hold me up again
Try to shackle me with money, and I'll slip right from his greedy grip
For where I buy and bond is where my heart is
[Chorus]
There's a treasure waiting for me on high
When to glory, I go when I die
Oh, that splendor will never fail in it's shine
In the never-ending light

[Interlude]

[Chorus]
There's a treasure waiting for me on high
When to glory, I go when I die
Oh, that splendor will never fail in it's shine
In the never-ending light
There's a treasure waiting for me on high
When to glory, I go when I die
Oh, that splendor will never fail in it's shine
In the never-ending light
