Lyrics
11. Old Sweet Beggar- Lyric: Hafiz/ Ladinsky/ Levin Music- The Levins © 2013
I was once envied as having what seemed to be
all you could want to possess
People revered me, powerful feared me
Soon all I wanted was less.
I gave up privilege, feathers of vanity
Begging for change and filled with desire to be...
Kindness humility peace and tranquility
Kindness humility peace and tranquility
Love turned me into a sweet old beggar.
Love itself fell into my bowl
I rose from the ditch, infinitely rich
All that is left is one goal, one goal, one goal...
All I want to do is empty my emerald filled pockets on this tear stained world for you. 2x
Love turned me into a sweet old beggar.
Love itself fell into my bowl
I rose from the ditch, infinitely rich
All that is left is one goal, one goal, one goal...
All I want to do is empty my emerald filled pockets on this tear stained world for you. 2x
For you, for you, for you,
This love, this love, this love.
