A Beggar On A Beach Of Gold (Live) - Mike & The Mechanics[00:00:00]
I didnt know when I was lucky[00:00:24]
Discontented feeling bad[00:00:28]
Filled with envy[00:00:33]
For possessions other people had[00:00:34]
I found my pride had always hurt me[00:00:41]
Fought the world to gain control[00:00:45]
Not realising[00:00:49]
I was sitting on a beach of gold[00:00:52]
Oh lord Im a poor man[00:00:57]
With all the riches I can hold[00:01:02]
Im a beggar[00:01:06]
And Im sitting on a beach of gold[00:01:09]
The problems I encountered[00:01:16]
Gave me strength helped me sustain[00:01:20]
To know the pleasure[00:01:24]
First I had to cure the pain[00:01:25]
When I was searching for solutions[00:01:32]
I found the answer lay in me[00:01:36]
Im a drifter[00:01:41]
But Im drifting on a silver sea[00:01:43]
Oh lord Im a poor man[00:01:49]
With all the riches I can hold[00:01:53]
Im a beggar[00:01:58]
And Im sitting on a beach of gold[00:02:00]
I didnt have courage[00:02:06]
My life was as dark as night[00:02:10]
When alone in the darkness[00:02:16]
I saw the brightest light[00:02:19]
Let the light shine down[00:02:23]
Are you out there now on empty[00:02:41]
Feel youve nothing left to give[00:02:46]
Sick of trying[00:02:50]
Have you lost the will to live [00:02:51]
Dont be drowning in the shallows[00:02:58]
With the beach so near at hand[00:03:02]
Hear the voice say[00:03:07]
Stand up get up[00:03:09]
And join me on the gilded sand[00:03:11]
Come and join me on the beach[00:03:15]
With all the riches I can hold[00:03:19]
Cause Im a beggar[00:03:24]
And Im sitting on a beach of gold[00:03:26]
Oh lord Im a poor man[00:03:32]
With all the riches I can hold[00:03:36]
Im a beggar[00:03:41]
Im sitting on a beach of gold[00:03:44]
My children my salvation[00:03:49]
The father to this man[00:03:53]
Theyre my teachers[00:03:58]
Playing on the golden sand[00:04:00]
With my family all around me[00:04:06]
Ive all the riches I can hold[00:04:10]
Im a beggar[00:04:16]
Sitting on a beach of gold[00:04:17]
Oh lord Im a poor man[00:04:23]
