Song & Lyrics
For the article: The Prince and the Beggar
A prince with every comfort and a beggar with nothing but freedom — two lives worlds apart, until a chance meeting at the gate changes everything. A song about seeing past the surface and finding what we all share.
All the world was at my feet,
Every comfort I could need
All the love my parents gave,
In a room with too much space,
But the children in the streets,
Seemed to live more wild and free
Laughing loud and chasing days,
I would gladly trade my place
One shirt and a pair of shoes,
Begging all day just for food
Or I'll face the wrath inside,
Of my uncle's foolish pride.
There's a castle on the hill
Dream of shirts made out of silk
And a horse to call my own,
And a place to call my home.
Welcome to my world,
step inside and see
Castles made of stone
or living on the streets
No life is what it seems
no one can ever tell
What's hidden in the heart,
who's living inside hell
Everybody bleeds,
everybody dreams
Everybody cries,
it's never what it seems
No matter who you are,
No matter where you've been
No matter what you have
everybody needs a friend
When I saw you at the gate,
I knew I could change our fate
I saw things I never knew
And it's all because of you
And we both began to see
that the happiness we seek
It was in us all along
now together we are strong.
Welcome to my world,
step inside and see
Castles made of stone
or living on the streets
No life is what it seems
no one can ever tell
What's hidden in the heart,
who's living inside hell
Everybody bleeds,
everybody dreams
Everybody cries,
it's never what it seems
No matter who you are,
No matter where you've been
No matter what you have
everybody needs a friend
Everybody bleeds,
everybody dreams
Everybody cries,
it's never what it seems
No matter who you are,
No matter where you've been
No matter what you have
everybody needs a friend
