Beggars Lyrics - Beggars - Thrice

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 its sleep? 

Does the earth seek your counsel on how fast to spin? 

Can you shut up the gates of the deep?

POPULAR SONG: Nicki Minaj - 'MEGATRON' - LYRICS 

Don't you know that all things hang, as if by a string 

O'er the 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 live out in the streets? 

Did you 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
