Lyrics

You built a big empire
That set the world on fire
But you couldn't connect with your kids
And the amazing things they did
All those riches and expensive rings
Couldn't deliver the purest things

When the money went away
You were forced to have those special moments,
every day

You were up
You were down
You were flying then you hit the ground
You were exhausted when you won
You thought you had lost everyone
But your success is how you feel
It's not money that makes it real

You went back to the start
When you gave back the cars
And you had to share with family
Understanding you were free
In those hard times you found peace inside
Putting hunger for money aside

When the money went away
You were forced to have those special moments,
every day

You were up
You were down
You were flying then you hit the ground
You were exhausted when you won
You thought you had lost everyone
But your success is how you feel
It's not money that makes it real

The best success
Comes from rising out the ashes
The best success
Is taking all your best chances

When the money went away
You were forced to have those special moments,
every day

You were up
You were down
You were flying then you hit the ground
You were exhausted when you won
You thought you had lost everyone
But your success is how you feel
It's not money that makes it real

Lyrics by Chris Castle from this brief song idea.

The film I mentioned is "Papadopoulos and Sons" and the line I liked is "Success is the Joy you feel."

"Comedy drama. After a financial market collapse, self-made millionaire Harry loses everything he has apart from an abandoned fish and chip shop."

I watched it on the BBC iPlayer and it is still available.

I like,
"It’s up.
It’s down.
You fight.
You win.
You lose
Become exhausted.
Then you leave."

I also like,
"Success is the Joy you feel.
That’s it.
That’s all it is.
Success is the Joy you feel."
