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)
