Mike Halgrimson - Beggers Ball Lyrics

Mama, can you see me, I'm your child
The one you left standing when you were young
On that corner all alone
No where to go, no one to know
How could you leave me all by myself

I learned to live all by myself
Do anything to stay alive
Now here we are all by ourselves
No one to stop me from being my self
Now we'll switch places, I'll take what's mine
You'll pay for my pain all this time
At the Beggar's Ball

Find you dance partner, swing him around
No one knows where he goes, his life's his own
After the Ball
No one knows where he goes at the Beggar's Ball

You knew your rich man wouldn't give you a chance
With some poor kid who wasn't all there
When no one was looking, you dropped me off here
You'll pay for my pain all this time at the Beggar's Ball

You go hungry most of the time
Go down on your knees for a dime
You'll hurt in places from hunger and cold
No future plans, just growing old
No one to help you, You're on your own
Now you can go the Beggar's Ball
Now you can go the Beggar's Ball
Now you can go the Beggar's Ball
