"Tell me another story, Papa."
"Okay, let's see . . . would you like to hear a story about a beggar?"
"What's a beggar?"
"A beggar is someone who is hungry, or thirsty, or in trouble and doesn't mind asking someone else for help."
"Have you ever been a beggar, Papa?"
"We're all beggars, son. It's just that we big people are usually too big to admit it . . ."

Beggar
Words and Music by John Fischer

I know where the food is
And it isn't very far away
Doesn't cost much but an empty soul
And the pride that stands in the way

I'm not one who's got it all in place
Telling you what you should do
No I'm just one old hungry beggar
Showing you where I found food

Have you found the water
That will never make you thirst again
Jesus is a well of water springing up
Into eternal life from within

I'm not one who's got it all in place
Telling you what you should do
No I'm just one old hungry beggar
Showing you where I found food

Maybe you aren't hungry
And maybe you don't thirst at all
But maybe the years have hardened the tears
And you really are a beggar after all

I'm not one who's got it all in place
Telling you what you should do
No I'm just one old hungry beggar
Showing you where I found food
