Beggar on a Beach of Gold |
I didn’t know when I was lucky |
Discontented feeling bad |
Filled with envy |
For possessions other people had |
I found my pride had always hurt me |
I fought the world to gain control |
Not realizing |
I was sitting on a beach of gold |
Oh Lord, I’m a poor man |
With all the riches I can hold |
I’m just a beggar |
And I’m sitting on a beach of gold |
And all the problems I encountered |
Gave me strength, helped me sustain |
To feel the pleasure |
First I had to heal the pain |
When I was searching for solutions |
I found the answer laid in me |
I’m just a drifter |
But I’m drifting on a silver sea |
Oh Lord, I’m a poor man |
With all the riches I can hold |
I’m just a beggar |
And I’m sitting on a beach of gold |
I didn’t have courage |
My life was as dark as night |
When alone in the darkness |
I saw the brightest light |
Let the light shine down |
Let it shine, let it shine |
Let it shine, shine down |
Oh yeah |
Are you out there now on empty |
Feel there’s nothing left to give |
Are you sick of trying |
And have you lost the will to live? |
Don’t be drowning in the shallows |
With the beach so near at hand |
Hear the voice say, «Stand up, get up |
And join me on the gilded sand» |
Come and join me on the beach, oh yeah |
With all the riches I can hold |
I’m just a beggar |
And I’m sitting on a beach of gold |
Oh Lord, I’m a poor man |
With all the riches I can hold |
I’m just a beggar |
And I’m sitting on a beach of gold |
With my family all around me |
I’ve all the riches I can hold |
I’m just a beggar |
And I’m sitting on this beach of gold |
Come and join me on the beach yeah |
