Mike + The Mechanics - Beggar on a Beach of Gold (2019 Version) (Official Audio) 

Such a beautiful song, despite all the years since it's released on 90's. Still remember the very first time I take this cd in a store and play.

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 realising 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 With the problems I encountered Gave me strength helped me sustain To know the pleasure First I had to cure the pain When I was searching for solutions I found the answer lay in me I'm just a drifter And I'm drifting on a silver sea Oh lord I'm a poor man With all the riches I can hold I'm 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 Are you out there now on empty Feel that isn't nothing left to give Sick of trying 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 golded sand Come and join me on the beach With all the riches I can hold Cause I'm 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 a beggar I'm sitting on a beach of gold
