I ain´t got too much money, I ain´t got too much sense
Long ago I had a dream but that´s no recompense
My father was a blind man, my brother was a fool
My mother told me "God is love"

But hatred makes the rules

Teach me to fly
So I shan´t drag my feet in the sand
Give me the sky
I would take the whole world in my hand

World, don´t you tell me
I cannot last forever
Before you know I´ll come and go
And make you if I can

Maybe I´m a beggar, just check your sympathy
They throw away their gentle love
And keep their pain for me

Can we be free, in a world where to love is to own?

Well when will we see, that a man must face life all alone?

Maybe I´m a beggar, just check your sympathy
