You changed a beggar into a king I had sunk as low as a man could go The world had turned me down But you picked me up And you kissed me sweet And you've whispered "I'll always be around" You tore the rags from off my back And you placed a crown on my head
Now, you walk beside me because You changed a beggar into a king A beggar ain't got no shoes for his shoes No coat to keep him warm But your arms will hold me And keep me warm You changed a beggar into a king You changed a beggar into a king
