Such a beautiful song, despite all the years since it's released on 90's. Still remember the very first time I take this cd in a store and play.

I didn't know when I was lucky
Discontented feeling bad
Filled with envy
For possessions other people had
I found my pride had always hurt me
I fought the world to gain control
Not realising
I was sitting on a beach of gold
Oh lord I'm a poor man
With all the riches I can hold
I'm just a beggar
And I'm sitting on a beach of gold
With the problems I encountered
Gave me strength helped me sustain
To know the pleasure
First I had to cure the pain
When I was searching for solutions
I found the answer lay in me
I'm just a drifter
And I'm drifting on a silver sea
Oh lord I'm a poor man
With all the riches I can hold
I'm a beggar
And I'm sitting on a beach of gold
I didn't have courage
My life was as dark as night
When alone in the darkness
I saw the brightest light
Let the light shine down
Are you out there now on empty
Feel that isn't nothing left to give
Sick of trying
Have you lost the will to live?
Don't be drowning in the shallows
With the beach so near at hand
Hear the voice say
Stand up get up
And join me on the golded sand
Come and join me on the beach
With all the riches I can hold
Cause I'm a beggar
And I'm sitting on a beach of gold
Oh lord I'm a poor man
With all the riches I can hold
I'm a beggar
I'm sitting on a beach of gold

Love this song with Paul Carrack vocal. Who's the vocal now? It's great. Is it Andrew?

[@grahamwride1240]

May be wrong, but don't think it was Paul Carrack on the original lead vocals for this song ...

[@mattmasonsinger1966]

Paul Carrack did cover it, not sure if it was the original. Above version is great.

[@grahamwride1240]

@DAVE LOVERING Tks for that; Young was a heckava singer ...

[@grahamwride1240]

@@mattmasonsinger1966 Yah, it's a good version but must say I prefer it with Paul Young on the lead ...

[@camilcristea]

@@grahamwride1240Yes,you are right,was Paul Young.Only,Paul Young.After his death,in 2000,probably the song was sung by Paul Carrack.

[@Neilmccall67]

Great song, well sung, miss Paul Young

[@RodGardner]

Paul young rules this is a karaoke version , even try to sing it like Paul young

[@ianzukswert3185]

So true and no way to emulate the late, great Paul Young. R.I.P.

[@olinamdluli5108]

[@peterbickersteth500]

Tim Howar is a great singer too.
