Rich Man

Every day they had the simple needs
 But every day was a struggle
 They have the possibilities
 Had no one but me and each other
 And everyday I'd ask them,
 Is it worth it in the end
 Then my father turned and said
 "Every year I make a living
 And though the rich may call me sad
 I've got my family beside me
 And I'm alright with what I have,
 Because I'm a rich man"
 And everyday I'd questioned if it was true
 I didn't believe until the day
 I met the family with a lot of money,
 but they had no unity
 Then I realized who I was and what I have
 And what my father had meant
 "Every year I make a living
 And though the rich may call me sad
 I've got my family beside me
 And I'm alright with what I have,
 Because I'm a rich man"
 Throughout the years and for my son
 I will teach of how we've lived on
 Trust in God and one another
 And just reach out to your brothers
 "Every year I make a living
 And though the rich may call me sad
 I've got my family beside me
 And I'm alright with what I have,
 Because I'm a rich man"
