Beggar’s Day Lyrics

[Verse 1]
If this is heaven
Then I'm in hell
If trust is misfortune
Then wish me well

[Pre-Chorus 1]
While I think of sadness, baby
Your light shines through
Your light shines through
Your light shines through

[Chorus]
Because it's beggar's day
Because it's beggar's day
Because it's beggar's day

[Verse 2]
I've lost control
Of my darker side
A world all for free
On a hosting wild

[Pre-Chorus 2]
And I have crossed myself in anger
All your mercy can't save me
All your mercy can't save me
All your mercy can't save me
[Chorus]
Because it's beggar's day
Because it's beggar's day
Because it's beggar's day

[Refrain]
It's beggar's day
You know, it's beggar's day
Because it's beggar's day

[Verse 3]
See this love
I've stored for you
Wheel it and deal it
But our feelin's are true

[Pre-Chorus 3]
And I have crossed myself in anger
All your mercy can't save me
All your mercy can't save me
All your mercy can't save me

[Chorus]
Because it's beggar's day
Because it's beggar's day
It's beggar's day
[Chorus]
Because it's beggar's day
It's beggar's day
It's beggar's day

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
