Beneath the rotting veil of night
A beggar kneels in wretched plight
Shadows whisper cold despair
Yet hope still breathes in stifled air
With trembling hands
He clutches dreams
Fragments of what life redeems
Eyes that blur with tears unwept
But within his heart
A promise kept
Through the storm
Through the pain
Dreams of peace
Joy to gain
In the dark
Faintest light
Beggar's hope stays burning bright
His garments tattered
Torn with age
Yet strength in soul no bars can cage
From silent depths
A whisper springs
Of future calm where hope yet sings
Stone and steel may grind him down
Life may wear a bitter crown
Still he walks with head held high
For he owns the starry sky
Through the storm
Through the pain
Dreams of peace
Joy to gain
In the dark
Faintest light
Beggar's hope stays burning bright
Through the storm
Through the pain
Dreams of peace
Joy to gain
In the dark
Faintest light
Beggar's hope stays burning bright
