I..... Have a simple point of view
No obsessions I pursue
I'm a poor man, though I do not need a thing
I..... Have a wealth of another kind
Opulence is state of mind
I'm a poor man, with a fortune of a king
All that I cherish, what I hold
Precious to me is not gold
Treasures of the heart
Cannot be bought, cannot be sold
Chorus:
No I am a pauper in paradise
Though I have nothing, I don't complain/(i have it all)
I am a pauper in paradise
Better this than a king in chains
I..... Have no treasure more revered
Than the life I've persevered
I'm a poor man, with the fortune of a king
All that I've wanted all I've yearned
Is the piece of mind I've earned
Measures of the heart
Cannot be taught, cannot be learned
Repeat chorus
Repeat chorus (x2)
