Once an angel came to me and said ''Do you lack inside?'' 
And so I raised my head to reconcile 
''My burdens of the Earth must be well deserved'' 
So I begged for mercy from the one 
Now the angel's gone, and [bad word] #39;s [bad word] my home 
I sit and think how life has gone 
Would it be unfair to ask for more? 
The beggar knows 

The angel since returned to the one once spurned and claims the invitation won't expire 
Somehow i just can't see salvation as elite 
And so I sent the angel on his way 
Should heaven be so vain, bring on judgment day 
I sit and think what love has done 
Could it be that I'm the one so wrong? 
The beggar knows 

Your congregation's meeting 
The chosen pray 
Ignore the beggars pleading and turn away 
Sinners rising sinners casting stones again 
Sinners bring the beggar to his end 
His eyes have seen heaven's at hand 
Thunder roars, the clouds bring gales forces, wicked battering 
The sun hangs his head in shame 
Those who joined in life with the beggar shall be reconciled 
For the vain - cast into the lake of fire 
And now I hope you see malaise in vanity 
And that you may not be a chosen one 
Ain't no one really knows which way the spirits go 
Yet I believe that action speaks a ton 
If we are to [bad word] one with salvation 
I sit and think what death will bring 
Will I burn in flames or fly on wings 
The beggar knows
