Generate meaning
1
I didn't know when I was lucky
2
Discontented feeling bad
3
Filled with envy
4
For possessions other people had
5
I found my pride had always hurt me
6
Fought the world to gain control
7
Not realizing
8
I was sitting on a beach of gold
9
Oh Lord, I'm a poor man
10
With all the riches I can hold
11
I'm a beggar
12
And I'm sitting on a beach of gold
13
The problems I encountered
14
Gave me strength, helped me sustain
15
To know the pleasure
16
First I had to cure the pain
17
When I was searching for solutions
18
I found the answer lay in me
19
I'm a drifter
20
But I'm drifting on a silver sea
21
Oh Lord, I'm a poor man
22
With all the riches I can hold
23
I'm a beggar
24
And I'm sitting on a beach of gold
25
I didn't have courage
26
My life was as dark as night
27
When alone in the darkness
28
I saw the brightest light
29
Let the light shine down
30
Are you out there now on empty
31
Feel you've nothing left to give
32
Sick of trying
33
Have you lost the will to live?
34
Don't be drowning in the shallows
35
With the beach so near at hand
36
Hear the voice say, "Stand up, get up
37
And join me on the gilded sand"
38
Come and join me on the beach
39
With all the riches I can hold
40
'Cause I'm a beggar
41
And I'm sitting on a beach of gold
42
Oh Lord, I'm a poor man
43
With all the riches I can hold
44
I'm a beggar
45
I'm sitting on a beach of gold
46
My children my salvation
47
The father to this man
48
They're my teachers
49
Playing on the golden sand
50
With my family all around me
51
I've all the riches I can hold
52
I'm a beggar
53
Sitting on a beach of gold
54
Oh Lord, I'm a poor man
55
With all the riches I can hold
