lyrics

Verse
i am the beggar.
i know that you're a beggar too.
although the signs may not have broken to you.

i am the beggar, but so are you.
never mind the truth that they will hide from you.
although the pieces they may not ever collect.

Chorus
but you don't know yourself.
and you can count on it.
don't you know that,
now you know that.

Verse
i am the truth that you may never hide.
let alone the others, that tried to look beside.
people i never knew, that could be stranger than you.

Chorus
but you don't know yourself.
and you get by, by yourself.
and unless they promised you.
don't you know that,
now you know that.

Chorus
but you don't know yourself.
and you don't know half the steps.
it's hiding on down with you.
don't you know that,
now you know that,
it's for you.
