Lyrics Maybe I'm a Beggar - Supertramp

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
Well, don’t you tell me that cannot last at all
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 the gentle love
that 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 the gentle love
that 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?
