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 shall drag my feet in the sand
Give me the sky, I will would take the whole world in my hand

Well, don't you tell me that cannot last at all
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 the gentle love
and keep the 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
