If you have a friend on whom you think you can rely, you are a lucky man
And if you found the reason to live on and not to die, you are a lucky man
The preachers, and the poets and the scholars don’t know it
The temples, and the statues and steeples don’t show it
If you’ve got the secret, just try not to blow it
Stay a lucky man / Stay a lucky man
Because on and on and on and on we go . . .
And it’s around the world in circles turning
Earning what we can
While others dance away
The chance to light your way
So you know that if you have a friend
On whom you think you can rely, you are lucky man
And if you’ve found the reason to live on and not to die
You are lucky man
You know the preachers, and the poets and the scholars don’t know it
The temples, and the statues and steeples don’t show it
If you’ve got the secret, just try not to blow it
Stay a lucky man / Stay a lucky man
And it’s around and round and round and round and round we go we go . . .
And it’s around the world in circles turning, earning what we can
While others dance away
The chance to light your day . . .
