Richest Man (Jerrylee)

[Verse 1] She left for money She packed her dream and wore her bag Left her little boy with tear we had She said I will return when my packed are full But the road grew long and her love turn cold Every night I held my son Jaha here Wiped away his silent tears I became his father and mother too Praying one day he will understand the truth [Chorus] The richest man is not the one with gold But the one whose heart never grows cold The richest man is not the one with gold But the one whose heart never grows cold [Verse 2] She chased the gold, she left her home Left her little boy to work alone Now the money is gone She is at my door But broken trust is worth much more I chose my son, I stood my ground Real love is where it's always found You can't buy back the years you've lost Some choices come with heavy cost [Chorus] The richest man is not the one with gold But the one whose heart never grows cold The richest man is not the one with gold But the one whose heart never grows cold [Bridge] Days turn in to years some how Our little boy is smiling now Through every struggle every pain We stood together through the rain Forgiveness leans inside my heart But wisdom tells us we're apart My sons future comes before the past The better love we build is made to last [Final Chorus] The richest man is not the one with gold But the one whose heart never grows cold She chased the gold she lost her way While love was waiting everyday Now I won't trade peace for pain Open up wounds once again My son and I will stand up tall With faith we'll rise above it all The richest man is not the one with gold But the one whose heart never grows cold Jerry holds Jahaziel, through every storm and day Jerry guides his little boy and shows him the way Jahaziel, my son, you’re the joy inside my heart Jerry will stand beside you, never drift apart Jerry, Jerry, that’s my name Jahaziel, you’re my pride and flame Jerry will work, Jerry will pray Jahaziel will rise and shine someday Jahaziel, remember Jerry’s love is true Every step you take, Jerry walks with you
