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
