« Help me I am helpless » Cried the beggar to the thief
                                                G
« Help me find a home again I need safety and relief
Fm
I’m weaker than the smallest breeze
Eb                              G
I have lost all my belief »

« Come with me » the thief replied I'll show you a land that's free
                                                G
« Where no door has ever closed Onto the likes of you and me
Fm
For just as you cannot steal the sun
Eb                             G
You cannot steal all that I've seen »

Roam until I roam no more

Run until I run no more

Roam until I roam no more
Ab                      G
Run until I run no more

« I’ll go with you » the beggar cried I'll follow you my friend
                                                G
« I’ll be the shadow on your path Round each and every bend
Fm
As I stand before you now
Eb                              G
Naked until the end »

« All is well » the thief he laughed «Let's hit the endless trail
                                        G
You will be rewarded fast As long as you don't fail
Fm
I'll pick the locks upon the gates Of
Eb                              G
heaven and in we'll sail »

Run until I run no more

Roam until I roam no more
Ab                      G
Run until I run no more
