Lyrics

I didn't know when I was lucky Discontented feeling bad Filled with envy For possessions other people had I found my pride had always hurt me I fought the world to gain control Not realizing I was sitting on a beach of gold Oh Lord, I'm a poor man With all the riches I can hold I'm just a beggar And I'm sitting on a beach of gold And all the problems I encountered Gave me strength, helped me sustain To feel the pleasure First I had to heal the pain When I was searching for solutions I found the answer laid in me I'm just a drifter But I'm drifting on a silver sea Oh Lord, I'm a poor man With all the riches I can hold I'm just a beggar And I'm sitting on a beach of gold I didn't have courage My life was as dark as night When alone in the darkness I saw the brightest light Let the light shine down Let it shine, let it shine Let it shine, shine down Oh yeah Are you out there now on empty Feel there's nothing left to give Are you sick of trying And have you lost the will to live? Don't be drowning in the shallows With the beach so near at hand Hear the voice say, "Stand up, get up And join me on the golden sand" Come and join me on the beach, oh yeah With all the riches I can hold I'm just a beggar And I'm sitting on a beach of gold Oh Lord, I'm a poor man With all the riches I can hold I'm just a beggar And I'm sitting on a beach of gold With my family all around me I've all the riches I can hold I'm just a beggar And I'm sitting on this beach of gold Come and join me on the beach yeah
