Lyrics

Don't need no diamonds
to feel beautiful
don't need no glitter glitter

don't need an island
to call my own
no gold or silver silver

I've been running after all these things
for such a long time
running in the wrong direction
for quite a while
but the older I get
the more I connect
and I never ever thought I'd see that

I am rich when I feel alive
I am rich when I laugh and when I cry
It's the places and people
it's the heartache and freedom
I'm rich when I see you smile

Don't no need thumbs up
to push my self esteem
to make me feel better

come on give me a chord
and a mic to sing
and things that really matter

yeah,I've been chasing rainbows
only seeing black and white
chasing after all these things but
I've come to realize
the older I get
the more I connect
and I never ever thought I'd see that

I am rich when I feel alive
I am rich when I laugh and when I cry
It's the places and people
it's the heartache and freedom
I'm rich when I see you smile
I am rich when I feel alive
I am rich when I laugh and when I cry
It's the places and people
it's the heartache and freedom
I'm rich when I see you smile

I couldn't see what is right here in front of me
Blinded by all of the things I'm supposed to need
Here in a world that is made up of broken dreams
I never ever thought,
yeah I never ever thought
I'd be rich

I am rich when I feel alive
I am rich when I laugh and when I cry
It's the places and people
it's the heartache and freedom
I'm rich when I see you smile
