Beggar On A Beach Of Gold

I didn't know when I was lucky

Discontented, feelin' bad

Filled with envy for possessions other people had

I thought my pride had always hurt me

I fought the world to gain control

Not realizin' I was sitting on a beach of gold

Oh, Lord, I'm a poor man

With all the riches I can hold

I'm just a beggar and I'm sitting on a beach of gold

And though the problems I encountered

Gave me strength, helped me sustain

To feel the pleasure

First I had to heal the pain

When I was searchin' for solutions

I found the answer lay in me

I'm just a drifter, and I'm drifting on a silver sea

Oh, Lord, I'm a poor man

With all the riches I can hold

I'm just a beggar and I'm sitting on a beach of gold

I didn't have courage, my life was dark as night

When alone in the darkness, I saw the brightest light

Let the light shine down

Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine, shine down

Oh, yeah

And are you out there now on empty?

Feel there's nothin' left to give?

Are you sick of tryin'?

And have you lost the will to live?

Don't be drownin' in the shallows

With the beach so near at hand

Hear the voice say, "Stand up, get up

And join me on the golden sand"

Come and join me on the beach, oh, yeah

With all the riches I can hold

I'm just 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 just a beggar and I'm sitting on a beach of gold

With my bird here on my hand

Of all the riches I can hold

I'm just a beggar and I'm sitting on this beach of gold

Come on, join me on the beach, yeah
