Rich

You know? I'm rich!
But not because of money
On my account, zero
And I don't think its funny.

 But anyway
I'm rich because I have my friends
I have my man, I have my daughter
Sometimes they can be like a ship
Protect me from the water.

 And anytime
I'm gonna give them back
My help, respect and love
I think you understand
I'm rich enough!!!
