Luckiest Ones in the World
Written by Lenny Solomon

On a cold rainy day, he got off a bus,
Past cafes and the malls and the people in the shops,
And then he walks down the street of Machane Yehudah.
He’s the luckiest one in the world,
Yeah, he’s the luckiest one in the world,
He’s the luckiest, luckiest, luckiest, luckiest one in the world.

Had a six-figure income and a house in the burbs,
But he gave it all up for a spiritual whirl,
Came to the Holy Land with his wife and his three little girls.
Now he’s the luckiest one in the world,
Yeah, he’s the luckiest one in the world,
He’s the luckiest, luckiest, luckiest, luckiest one in the world.

Who is the rich man?
He is happy with what he has.
’Cause if all you got is money, y’ know it’s never enough, no it’s never enough.

She picked another grapefruit in the middle of the day,
The sun was real strong but she felt a-ok,
In fact, she never felt better, ’cause this was her way now.
’Cause she’s the luckiest one in the world,
Yeah, the luckiest one in the world,
She’s the luckiest, luckiest, luckiest, luckiest one in the world.

She used to be a partner working 80 hours a week,
But she gave it all up for that Israel mystique,
Now she’s married with children and never felt more fulfilled.
’Cause she’s the luckiest one in the world,
Yeah, the luckiest one in the world,
She’s the luckiest, luckiest, luckiest, luckiest one in the world.

Who is the rich woman?
She is happy with what she has.
’Cause if all you got is money it’s never enough, no it’s never enough.

Life is more than working and they figured it out,
They wouldn’t trade it in for anything, bigger car or bigger house,
And y’ know come to think of it, neither would I.
cause we’re the luckiest ones in the world,
Yeah, the luckiest ones in the world,
We’re the luckiest, luckiest, luckiest, luckiest ones in the world.
