Beggars
by Eli

Album: Now The News

Yeah, yeah

Well, I went before a king
And I, I played my finest song
And with every word
I fought the urge to weep, now
Though it did not take long
'Til I saw his friends laughing
As I looked up I found the King asleep

So I gave it to the beggars
I gave it to the lost
The ones the world forgot
I gave it to the beggars
I gave it to the lost
The ones the world forgot

So we threw a wedding feast
And we invited all the best
The rich, the famous
Those who had great teeth, yeah
I even wore my brand new vest
But when the doors were opened
A thousand chairs stood empty

So we gave it to the beggars
We gave it to the lost
The ones the world forgot
We gave it to the beggars
We gave it to the lost
The ones the world forgot

And as a crowd gathered 'round a man
Nailed up to a tree
We couldn't say or do anything
Then He began to speak

He said, I came to feed the beggars
I came to save the lost
The ones the world forgot
I came to feed the beggars
I came to save the lost
The ones the world forgot

I came to feed the beggars
I came to save the lost
The ones the world forgot
Yeah, yeah, yeah
So I gave it to the beggars
Yes, I came to save the lost
The ones the world forgot
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh, yeah
