I’m gonna keep my treasures in heaven
I’m gonna know His joy in my heart
And I know there’s nothing in heaven or hell
That will ever keep us apart
(repeat)
I don’t need to be beautiful (kiss, kiss)
And have my face on the T.V
I don’t need to be a pop star (aaw)
To know He watches over me
I don’t need to be famous (aaah)
To know that I am loved
I don’t need to be rich
‘Cause my treasure’s in heaven above
I don’t need to be clever (pi r squared)
And bury my head in books
I don’t need to be trendy (“Hey dudes””)
And wear designer socks
I don’t need to beat the Sega (pow, pow, pow)
To win the Father’s love
I don’t need to be rich
‘Cause my treasure’s in heaven above
