FOOLS AND KINGS

A beggar in a side-street…he lies dazed in the cold
He lost all he had in one day, now he fades to the end

Why don’t we - Why don’t we pick him up?
Why don’t we - why don’t we mercy him?

Some are called to be kings
Some are called to be fools
Some are born to suffer a lifetime
Some will die on a throne
- Who gives compensation?

A granny on the marketplace
She play’s on a singing saw
She dreams of her sons and daughters
But she doesn’t know where they are

Chorus repeated
