Josiah Queen - Die a Beggar

Copied!

{Verse 1}
You can't love your money
And also love the Lord, I've tried before
And I'll die before I try again
You can't gain fame
And it ever satisfy, I've done and tried
It numbed me right down to my bones

{Pre-Chorus}
It's impossible
It's impossible

{Chorus}
I would rather die a beggar
Than to beg at Heaven's gates
Pack the car and burn the bridges
I didn't need 'em anyways
If no one's riding with me
Then I'll travel on my own
I'd rather lose the world before the world
Can gain my soul

{Verse 2}
I've tried to earn His love
But I really dug a hole, the night got cold
A mortal soul can't bare that cross
My hands are red
And I am guilty of a multitude of sins
Without the cover of His blood

{Pre-Chorus}
It's impossible
It's impossible

{Chorus}
I would rather die a beggar
Than to beg at Heaven's gates
Pack the car and burn the bridges
I didn't need 'em anyways
If no one's riding with me
Then I'll travel on my own
I'd rather lose the world before the world
Can gain my soul

{Outro}
When I die a beggar
And I walk through Heaven's doors
All the evils of this rotting world
Traded for a home
You can go there with me
And you'll never be alone
You gotta lose the world before the world
Can gain your soul

Ultimately, the song offers a message of hope and redemption, suggesting that by letting go of worldly attachments, one can find a sense of home and belonging in a higher spiritual realm.
