Rocking Chair Millionaire

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Marvin was forty-two In Baton Rouge, Louisiana Forklift at the warehouse Back hurt, bills too mean He clocked out to an empty room And a secondhand desk One lamp, one mic, one laptop And a prayer in his chest [Pre-Chorus] He said, "Lord, if this is grace Then show me where to start" A simple song, a simple truth A steady hand, a heart He pressed record on Monday Then again on Tuesday night Little by little, day by day He watched his small life light [Chorus] Rocking chair millionaire Rich in love and light Rocking chair millionaire Built a better life No gold chain Just a song to share Rocking chair millionaire Legacy in a chair [Verse 2] He learned the tools in quiet Asked the machine to help Turned rough ideas to stories Kept the honest self Ten posts, then twenty One for mama, one for pain One for the boys on the corner One for loss and rain [Pre-Chorus] He didn't chase the noise He didn't need the fame He just kept showing up And calling souls by name The comments turned to testimonies Neighbors started to sing A little room became a doorway A voice became a spring [Chorus] Rocking chair millionaire Rich in love and light Rocking chair millionaire Built a better life No gold chain Just a song to share Rocking chair millionaire Legacy in a chair [Bridge] Now the porch light's on by supper Kids are dancing by his feet His wife hums in the kitchen While the evening breeze repeats He says, "Freedom ain't a fortune Freedom's doing what you're built to do" And every line he leaves behind him Looks like a road for you [Final Chorus] Rocking chair millionaire Rich in love and light Rocking chair millionaire Built a better life No gold chain Just a song to share Rocking chair millionaire Legacy in a chair Comment ROCKING CHAIR...
