Thrice - Beggars lyrics

[Thrice - Beggars lyrics]

All you great men of power
You who boast of your feats
Politicians and entrepreneurs
Can you safeguard 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?
Does the earth seek your counsel
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 big shots that swagger
And stride with conceit
Did you devise how your
Frame would be formed?
If you'd be raised in a palace
Or left out on the streets?
Or 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 grace after all?
If there's one thing I know in this life
We are beggars all
