maybe i'm a beggar
I ain't got too much money, I ain't got too much sense Long ago I had a dream but that's no recompense My father was a blind man, my brother was a fool My mother told me "God is love" But hatred makes the rules Teach me to fly So I shan't drag my feet in the sand Give me the sky I would take the whole world in my hand World, don't you tell me I cannot last forever Before you know I'll come and go And make you if I can Maybe I'm a beggar, just check your sympathy They throw away their gentle love And keep their pain for me Can we be free, in a world where to love is to own? Well when will we see, that a man must face life all alone? Maybe I'm a beggar, just check your sympathy They throw away their gentle love and keep their pain for me Teach me to fly So I shan't drag my feet in the sand Give me the sky I would take the whole world in my hand Can we be free, in a world where to love is to own? Well when will we see, that a man must face life all alone?
