Loving Rich
Brandon Lake's 'Loving Rich' is a heartfelt song that celebrates the richness of love over material wealth. The lyrics describe a couple who, despite having little money, find joy and abundance in their relationship. They cherish simple moments, hand-me-downs, and thrift store finds, believing that true wealth is found in each other's presence. The song contrasts the world's view of prosperity with the idea that living simply can make love flourish. It's a warm, romantic reflection on prioritizing connection over possessions, suggesting that love itself is the greatest treasure.
Next to nothing in our pockets
We didn't need much cash to get by
Felt like more than just surviving
We learned love needs little to thrive
Thrift store art in our apartment
Dressed in mostly hand-me-downs
But love don't always look like diamonds
And You look mighty fine in a floral crown
Cause loving was easy, living poor
Making memories that money just can't afford
To some it may seem foolish but to us it's common sense
Maybe living poor makes loving rich
We couldn't buy those big vacations
But wealth can't buy the love we make
But if paradise is in your presence
Then I don't care the road that we take
Cause loving was easy, living poor
Making memories that money just can't afford
To some it may seem foolish but to us it's common sense
Maybe living poor makes loving rich
You make me feel like a King
You make it feel like a dream
I don't need glamorous or fancy
I don't need fame or fortune honey
I just need you
You just need me
Loving is easy, living poor
Making memories that money just can't afford
And to some it may seem foolish but to us it's common sense
But maybe living poor makes loving rich
Baby living poor makes loving rich
