Supertramp Maybe I'm a Beggar song lyrics

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

They throw away their gentle love

and keep their pain for me

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

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?
