How could I be a poor man

How could I be a poor man
when I am surrounded by your light
from when I open my eyes in the morning
to when I close them again at night

How could I have no riches
when your gold I see so bright
not hoarded in some treasure chest
but up high, beaming down with all your might

How could I be dressed in rags
when I am clocked with such delight
a glow I hold within my heart
the love I hold real tight

No longer am I a rich man falling
blinded by his plight
instead a poor man standing tall
embracing out his fight.
