Rich
Eli Gable
If I were rich, I'd buy a piece of land
Miles outta town, I'd work the ground with my own hands
I'd call up all my friends, say
Pack your things 'cause you're movin' in
If I had the cash and didn't need no loan
We'd fill up God's creation with all our tiny homes
And I know it's kinda hippie, well
Then maybe, so is Heaven, who knows?
But if home is where your heart is, mine ain't on a map
It's built inside the beauty of the souls that make me laugh
And if life is what we make it, I say let's make it fun
'Cause the journey's full of trouble, but there's joy in who you love
If I were rich, I know just what I'd do
I'd save a little plot and tell my folks it's time to move
It'd be nice to see their faces just
A little bit more than I'm used to
Hey, Mom, I sure miss you
But if home is where your heart is, mine ain't on a map
It's built inside the beauty of the souls that make me laugh
And if life is what we make it, I say let's make it fun
'Cause the journey's full of trouble, but there's joy in who you love
I guess that I'm dreamin' a little much
Truth is, life ain't perfect, we were never promised such
And when we finally get to Heaven, all
That gold will be trodded on like dust
So if home is where your heart is, mine ain't on a map
It's built inside a kingdom where the mornin' always lasts
And if life is what we make it, I say just give it up
My Father's plans are better and they're formed with perfect love
I'd still be rich without a dollar to my name
Got family, friends, and Jesus, so forever, I'll give thanks
