Almsgiver - Glossary

Once I had it all

And I held it in my hands

But it slipped through my fingers

Like tiny grains of sand

Scattered by the wind

Never to return again

I’ve been down I’ve been broken

I’ve been beaten I’ve been torn

Can’t sleep with the light off

Can’t sleep with it on

Can’t feel much of nothing

I’ve been too numb from the scorn

Almsgiver

I don’t need no charity

I don’t want your money

But honey, give your love to me

Momma she done told you

Papa told you too

Them boys with guitars

Can’t take care of you

They only run and they’re reckless

They live the way they want to

But they’ve never felt freedom

Never wrapped it in their arms

Never been willing to risk everything

To follow what’s in their hearts

But honey I’ll tell you right now I’m willing to risk it all

Almsgiver

I don’t need no charity

I don’t want your money

But honey, give your love to me

Everything has a beginning

And everything too must end

But nothing’s gone forever

It just changes from what it’s been

And I’ve changed from what I’ve been

So honey let me back in

Almsgiver

If what will be will be

Then let me be for you

And honey you can be for me
