O Lucky Man - Montrose

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!
