lyrics

ALL GOD'S BEGGARS © A.Zable/ K.Mazzella

The beggar at the side of the road says
" brother, any spare change?"
You glare straight ahead " don't encourage them !"
you say and walk up that Progress Hill
Shall we walk up the progress hill dear friends
where the rules are all that matter?
where your heart is colder than winter's snow
we will walk, we will walk together....

In the dead of night, there's a knock at the door
the urgent voice tells you to flee
you must find a safe place your freedom
there's no queue when you run for your life
Alleluia! Alleluia!
you must find a safe place your freedom
there's no queue when you run for your life

On a sinking boat a woman gave birth
off the coast of Java
while a Christmas Card I gave to my love
celebrated the birth of another
Alleluia! Alleluia!
while a Christmas Card I gave to my love
celebrated the birth of another

What is it that we fear so much
what is it dear Australia?
we are a land full of refugees
and this good land has been our saviour
Alleluia Alleluia
we are a land full of refugees
and this good land has been our saviour

Let the children sing this song and gather round our fire
let our hands undo the bully's grip
that puts them behind Razor wire
Alleluia Alleluia

The beggar at the side of the road says" brother give me shelter"
sit down wish him well and share your meal
after all aren't we all
God's beggars
