I a in't got too much mo ney I ai n't got too much se nse
L ong ago I ha d a dream but th at's no recompe nse
My fa ther was a bli nd man my br other was a fo ol
My m other told me Go d is love
But ha tred makes the ru les
Te ach me to fl y so I sh all drag my f eet in the s and
G ive me the s ky I will t ake the whole wo rld in my ha nd
W ell don't you te ll me that ca nnot last at a ll
B efore you know I'll c ome and go
And ma ke you if I ca n
M aybe I'm a be ggar just ch eck your sym pathy
They th row away the ge ntle love
and ke ep the pain for m e
C an we be fre e in a wo rld where to l ove is to o wn?
W ell when will we se e that a man must face life all alone?
M aybe I'm a be ggar just ch eck your sy mpathy
T hey throw away the ge ntle love
a nd keep the pain for m e
T each me to f ly so I s hall drag my f eet in the sa nd
G ive me the s ky I will t ake the whole w orld in my h and
W ell when will we se e that a man must face life all alone?
