Rich In The Heart

Verse

Sun’s peeking over the rolling hill

The morning air is crisp and still

I pull on my boots, yeah, I’m ready to go

There’s a rhythm in the chores that the neighbors don’t know

The gate gives a creak and the day starts to bloom

There ain’t no boardroom, just a whole lot of room!

Chorus

Oh, we’re rich in the heart, though the pockets are light

Working through the morning to the falling of the night

It’s a dusty kind of magic, a muddy kind of bliss

No corporate paycheck ever felt like this!

Yeah, the work is heavy but the soul’s flying free

On this little piece of heaven for the world to see!

Verse

Four ducks are waddling, heading for the pond

Of the chickens in the coop, we’re exceptionally fond

Four turkeys strutting with a gobble and a flare

And our big ol' pig hasn't got a single care!

Ten dogs are barking, tails wagging in a line

Two cats on the porch, yeah, they’re doing just fine

It’s a wild, furry family, a beautiful crew

And every single one says "I love you" too!

Bridge

No, we don't get a salary, no we don't get a fee

But the joy in their eyes is the best currency

It’s sweat on the brow and it’s dirt on the knees

But we’re wealthier than kings under these apple trees!

Chorus

Oh, we’re rich in the heart, though the pockets are light

Working through the morning to the falling of the night

It’s a dusty kind of magic, a muddy kind of bliss

No corporate paycheck ever felt like this!

Yeah, the work is heavy but the soul’s flying free

On this little piece of heaven for the world to see!

Outro

Yeah, the bank might not show it, but we’ve won the prize

Looking at the world through a homesteader’s eyes.

Just me and the ducks... and the dogs... and the life!
