JUEVES - LYRICS ("A beggar on a beach of gold - Mike and the mechanics")

- "A beggar on a beach of gold - Mike and the mechanics".

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

and 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.
