lyrics

all you great men of power
you who boast of your feats
politicians and entrepreneurs
can you safe-gaurd your breath
in the night while you sleep?
keep your heart beating steady and sure
as you lie in your bed
does the thought haunt your head
that you're really rather small?

if there's one thing i know in this life
we are beggars all

all you champions of science
and rulers of men
can you summon the sun from it's sleep?
and does the earth seek your council on how fast to spin?
can you shut up the gates of the deep?
don't you know that all things
hang as if by a string over darkness
poised to fall?

if there's one thing i know in this life
we are beggars all

all you bigshots that swagger
and stride with conceit
did you devise how your frame would be formed?
if you'd be raised in a palace
or live out on the street?
choose the place or the hour you'd be born?
tell me what can you claim?
not a thing, not your name
tell me if you can recall
just one thing not a gift in this life

can you hear what's been said?
can you see now that everything's grey
after all?

if there's one thing i know in this life
we are beggars all
