Have you ever thought,
Money is more than a measurement of success.
It's a story,
Of a piece of paper,
That's passed from one person to the next.
That dollar could have touched a future president's hands.
It could been stolen by Al Capone's best friend.
It could have been crumpled by your favorite actress.
It could have been held by the best of the best.
It all started when,
A seed was planted.
With roots to tether it,
and big, wooden branches.
Then it was cut,
To be turned into,
Something on which our lives hang.
A piece of paper,
That's traveled the world,
That can make a life change.
