I ain't got too much money I ain't got too much sense Long ago I had a dream but that's no recompense My father was a blind man my brother was a fool My mother told me God is love But hatred makes the rules Teach me to fly so I shall drag my feet in the sand Give me the sky I will take the whole world in my hand Well don't you tell me that cannot last at all Before you know I'll come and go And make you if I can Maybe I'm a beggar just check your sympathy They throw away the gentle love and keep the pain for me Can we be free in a world where to love is to own? Well when will we see that a man must face life all alone? Maybe I'm a beggar just check your sympathy They throw away the gentle love and keep the pain for me Teach me to fly so I shall drag my feet in the sand Give me the sky I will take the whole world in my hand Well when will we see that a man must face life all alone?
