If you have a friend on whom you think
you can rely – You are a lucky man!
If you’ve found the reason to live on and
not to die – You are a lucky man!
Preachers and poets and scholars don’t know it,
Temples and statues and steeples won’t show it,
If you’ve got the secret just try not to blow
it – Stay a lucky man!
If you’ve found the meaning of the truth
in this old world- You are a lucky man!
If knowledge hangs around your neck like
pearls instead of chains – You are a lucky man!
Takers and fakers and talkers won’t tell you.
Teachers and preachers will just buy and sell you.
When no one can tempt you with heaven or hell-
You’ll be a lucky man!
