Song Lyrics

I've heard tell of millionaires
And billionaires and such
Who gathered all their treasures
And still did not have enough

If money could buy peace of mind
I guess they'd have it all
But all the money in the world
Wouldn't hold you when you fall

[CHORUS:]
We've got a roof over our head
And the kids have all been fed
And the women I love most
Lies close beside me in our bead
Lord, give me the eyes to see
Exactly what it's worth
And I will be the richest man on earth

Lord, when I wish I had the things
That you gave someone else
I pray that you'll forgive me
For just thinkin' of myself

I haven't been as thankful
As I know I ought to be
I should be more then satisfied
With all you've given me

(REPEAT CHORUS)
Bridge: One thing is for certain
It don't matter when you die
If you had a million
Or if you just got by

(REPEAT CHORUS)
Yes, I will be the richest man on earth
