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.
