Richest One

If I had a penny for every town I've known
And if I had a nickel for every song I've sung
If I had a quarter for every tear I've cried
And if I had a dollar for every hurt I felt inside

I'd be the richest...the richest one in the world
Richest one in the world

If I had a ruby for every drop of blood you shed
And if I had an emerald for every single debt
Had a piece of silver for every sin you took
And if I had a diamond for every beautiful truth in your book

I'd be the richest...the richest man in the world

Yes, I am, (yes, I am)
Yes, I am, (yes, I am)
I believe I am, (yes, I am)
Surely I am. (yes, I am)

When I was lost, a stranger to innocence
When I was guilty in the face of such evidence
When I was condemned, that's when the veil was rent
When I was broken you came to my defence

If I had a ruby for every drop of blood you shed
And if I had an emerald for every single debt
If I had a piece of silver for every sin you took
Lord, if I had a diamond for every beautiful truth in your book

I would be the richest, (I'd be the richest one)
I would be the richest, (I'd be the richest one)
Lord knows I believe I am the richest, (yes, yes, the richest)
I'm the richest one in the world

Yes, yes, I am
Lord, I'm the richest one in the world
Oh, the richest one in the world

I'm the richest one in the whole wide world
