A 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 |
| 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 a beggar |
| And I’m sitting on a beach of gold |
| The problems I encountered |
| Gave me strength, helped me sustain |
| To know the pleasure |
| First I had to cure the pain |
| When I was searching for solutions |
| I found the answer lay in me |
| I’m 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 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 |
| Are you out there now on empty |
| Feel you’ve nothing left to give |
| Sick of trying |
| 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 |
| With all the riches I can hold |
| 'Cause I’m 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 a beggar |
| I’m sitting on a beach of gold |
| My children my salvation |
| The father to this man |
| They’re my teachers |
| Playing on the golden sand |
| With my family all around me |
| I’ve all the riches I can hold |
| I’m a beggar |
| Sitting on a beach of gold |
| Oh Lord, I’m a poor man |
| With all the riches I can hold |
