Am F
All you great men of power, you who boast of your feats -
Am F
Politicians and entrepreneurs.
Am F
Can you safeguard your breath in the night while you sleep?
Am F
Keep your heart beating steady and sure?
G E7
As you lie in your bed, does the thought haunt your head
Am D7
That you�re really, rather small?
F Em
If there�s one thing I know in this life: we are beggars all.
Am F
All you champions of science and rulers of men,
Am F
Can you summon the sun from its sleep?
Am F
Does the earth seek your counsel on how fast to spin?
Am F
Can you shut up the gates of the deep?
G E7
Don�t you know that all things hang, as if by a string,
Am D7
O�er the darkness - poised to fall?
F Em
If there�s one thing I know in this life: we are beggars all.
Am F
All you big shots that swagger and stride with conceit,
Am F
Did you devise how your frame would be formed?
Am F
If you�d be raised in a palace, or live out in the streets,
Am F
Did you choose the place or the hour you�d be born?
G E7
Tell me what can you claim? Not a thing - not your name!
Am D7 F
Tell me if you can recall just one thing,
Em
That�s not a gift in this life?
Am F
Can you hear what�s been said?
Am Em Am D7
Can you see now that everything�s grace after all?
F Em
If there�s one thing I know in this life: we are beggars all.
