I have been a beggar
And shall be one again
And few the ones with help to lend
Within the world of men
One day I walk in flowers
One day I walk on stones
Today I walk in hours
One day I shall be home
I've sat on the street corner
And watched the boot-heals shine
And cried out glad and cried out sad
With every voice but mine

One day I walk on stones
Today I walk in hours
One day I shall be home
I have been a beggar
And shall be one again
And few the ones with help to lend
Within the world of men
One day I walk in flowers
One day I walk on stones
Today I walk in hours
One day I shall be home
I have been a beggar
I shall be home
