Beggar Man Songtext
von Hemlock

Beggar man, beggar man
I like the way you play
Standing on the corner of a street without a name
The dancing swirling century you embrace the wind and rain
You have not lost your smile
Though your face betrays the pain
Music rises sweetly to the sky
Like the geese when winter comes it flies so high
Like an honest face from within an angry crowd
The sun will appear from behind a dark black cloud


It′s a heartbreaking fight you lead
But you know it's never lost
By any of us here who keeps his head above the cost
And the easy things to come by
Are the ones that seem to last
And the God of greed has never been
The answer in the past
No one is favored, none is scorned

And if you want to sit up front then please be warned
If you lead the flock they′re sure to follow through
But if things go wrong the past falls back on you

So don't you reach your heart out for that beggar in the road
His eyes shine bright, his needs are light, he bears no heavy load
Yes the easy things to come by they're the things that seem to last
And the God of greed has never been the answer in the past

No one is favored, none is scorned
And if you want to sit up front then please be warned
If you lead the flock they′re sure to follow through
But when things go wrong the past falls back on you
