|
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 realising |
|
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 |
|
I'm a beggar |
|
Sitting on a beach of gold |
