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)
