Beggar on a Beach of Gold (2019 Version) Mike + the Mechanics

I didn't know when I was lucky
Discontented feeling bad
Filled with envy
For possessions other people had

I found my pride had always hurt me
I fought the world to gain control
Not realizing
I was sitting on a beach of gold

Oh Lord, I'm a poor man
With all the riches I can hold
I'm just a beggar
And I'm sitting on a beach of gold

And all the problems I encountered
Gave me strength, helped me sustain
To feel the pleasure
First I had to heal the pain

When I was searching for solutions
I found the answer laid in me
I'm just a drifter
But I'm drifting on a silver sea

Oh Lord, I'm a poor man
With all the riches I can hold
I'm just a beggar
And I'm sitting on a beach of gold
