Lyrics

[Verse 1]
"Help me, I am helpless"
Cried the beggar to the thief
"Help me find a home again
I need safety and relief
I'm weaker than the smallest breeze
I've lost all my belief"
[Verse 2]
"Come with me," the thief replied
"I'll show you a land that's free
Where no door has ever closed
Onto the likes of you and me
For just as you cannot steal the sun
You cannot steal all that I've seen"
[Verse 3]
Roam, until I roam no more
Run until I run no more
Roam, until I roam no more
Run until I run no more
[Verse 4]
"I'll go with you," the beggar cried
"I'll follow you, my friend
I'll be the shadow on your path
Round each and every bend
As I stand before you know
Naked until the end"
[Verse 5]
"All is well," the thief he laughed
"Let's hit the endless trail
You will be rewarded fast
As long as you don't fail
I'll pick the locks upon the gates
Of Heaven and in we'll sail"
[Verse 6]
Roam, until I roam no more
Run until I run no more
Roam, until I roam no more
Run until I run no more
[Verse 7]
Roam, until I roam no more
Run until I run no more
Roam, until I roam no more
Run until I run no more
Run until I run no more
