I met a rich man who was feeling poor
Said he didn't know what he was looking for
Can't call a man crazy man for talking to the rain
Sometimes I hear voices call my name

I believe in things that I can't see
I am sure of things I could never explain 
Sometimes I feel like the
Richest man in the world

Things aren't what they seem
Treasures aren't what I need
To see the light to live a life of love

I've tried everything at the feast
I gorged myself in the belly of the beast
I've walked on water slept on a bed of coals
I've turned silver into gold

But if you want to see the things I've seen 
You got to take the walk and walk with me
'Cause I've been to the mountain top of love 

Things aren't what they seem	
Miracles aren't what I need
To see the light to live a life of love

I know I don't have what you got
But I'm not sure if it's what I want
They could take away everything I own
And I'd still have everything I own

'Cause I believe in things that I can't see
I am sure of things I could never explain 
And sometimes I feel like the 
Richest man in the world

Things aren't what they seem
You're all that I need
To live a life like the
Richest man in the world
