I own a mansion, I own the world,
I own the heavens of blue
For my mind is at ease
with my kids on my knees
Making my dream world come true
Now I don't have the finest home in town
And the car that I drive is old
But the way the good Lord
has shined out on me
Is more precious to me than gold
He's blessed our house with children
Bright and strong an d healthy
An d when they hug my neck and kiss me
I know I'm really wealthy,
for where on earth could money
buy the happiness and joy
of a little girl curled up on your lap
for a fishing trip with your boy?
Well, there's many a man
with money to burn
who'd give it all up just to
hear the soft little voice
of his own little boy
saying his evening prayer.
Yes, I can fight the battle
s of life every day
an d take trials and disappointments
with a smile.
For there's one thing I've got,
no matter what,
the love and devotion of my child.
Yes, I'll always be rich,
looked up to by all,
and get all from this world
that I'm due.
When one of my kids
climbs up in my lap
and says, Daddy, you know what?
What, darling?
I love you.
I own a mansion
I own the world
I own the heavens up blue
For my mind is at ease
With my kids on my knees
Making my dream world come true
