Текст песни Beggars (Thrice) с переводом

Politicians and entrepreneurs

Can you safeguard your breath in the night while you sleep?

Keep your heart beating steady and sure?

As you lie in your bed does the thought haunt your head

That you’re really rather small?

If there’s one thing I know in this life, we are beggars all

All you champions of science and rulers of men

Can you summon the sun from its sleep?

Does the earth seek your counsel on how fast to spin?

Can you shut up the gates of the deep?

Don’t you know that all things hang as if by a string over darkness,

poised to fall?

If there’s one thing I know in this life, we are beggars all

All you big shots that swagger and stride with conceit

Did you devise how your frame would be formed?

If you’d be raised in a palace or left out on the streets?

Or choose the place or the hour you’d be born?

Tell me, what can you claim? Not a thing, not your name

Tell me if you can recall just one thing, not a gift, in this life

Can you hear what’s been said?

Can you see now that everything’s grace after all?

If there’s one thing I know in this life

We are beggars all
