  Little sparrow in the tree, What have you to do with me? I am chained to the ground; You take flight without a sound. To heaven you look for your bread, While earthly worries fill my head. People build buildings to the sky, Advance technology; make machines that fly. Yet, for all our complex …

What Riches Have You?
