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)
