Lyrics

Old Sweet Beggar

Lyric: Hafiz/ Ladinsky/ Levin Music- The Levins © 2013


Once I was envied as having what seemed to be all you could want to possess

People revered me, Powerful feared me, but 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

Chorus:

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.

—empty my emerald filled pockets on this tear stained world for you

Chorus - END: For you, for you, for you. (2x) This love, this love, this love. (3x)
