Song Meaning of “The Rich Life of a Poor Man” by The Oldians
Verse 1:
A poor man’s life is filled with endless suffering and strife,
Under the weight of poverty, no break from the silent night.
It’s a struggle everyday, but his spirit won’t break away.
His courage is a lesson to help lift his head and carry on.
Chorus:
Living the rich life of a poor man,
No riches in his pocket, but in his heart he is a king.
Living the rich life of a poor man,
Even in his darkest hour, he will keep on believing.
Verse 2:
He might not have a lot of money, but his soul is overflowing with love.
It’s the joy of life that he has found, even in the face of adversity.
His strength and spirit, never ending, his courage has kept him going.
His light will shine forever, sending ripples of hope throughout the land.
Chorus:
Living the rich life of a poor man,
No riches in his pocket, but in his heart he is a king.
Living the rich life of a poor man,
Even in his darkest hour, he will keep on believing.
Bridge:
The poor man’s dreams will never die,
His courage will never fade,
He has the power in his heart, a power never to be brought down.
