Beg with a rose in your hand 
But don't lose your soul, son 
Life's getting hard on the road 
But can you soldier on? 
Say what you want to, it's your country 
Pray if you want to, it's your country 
Let your love take you there 
Pine for the crumbs of a king 
But don't lose yourself, man 
Hell is a place that we go to find a helping hand 
Lifted yourself from the sinking sand 
With no borrowed love, with no helping hand 
Followed your road for a thousand days 
With some peace of mind but a lot of weight 
Have no fear if you change your mind 
Your fellow man could be by your side 
Take my hand if you have the time 
But you don't, do you? 
You don't
