I Follow My King

I followed my king to a war in a far southern land

Where men said he should prove his throne

I stood with my king and was ready to strike them all down

But my king stood tall a reached out and took sword of his own

And as we departed he said to me there, before warring and feud could begin

If I am afraid to be beaten, then where is the pride when I win

 

In word and deed I follow my king, the wisest among us and fair

In word and deed I follow my king, the wisest among us and fair

 

I followed my king to the door of a vigilant squire

But a guardsman stood and barred the way

I stood with my king and was ready to strike the man down

But my king stood tall and reached out and shook hands at the gate

And as we departed he said to me there, before warring and feud could begin

If I won't clasp hands with a neighbor, then how can I ask it of him

 

In word and deed I follow my king, the wisest among us and fair

In word and deed I follow my king, the wisest among us and fair

 

I followed my king from his place at the mead hall's high seat

Where the hungry sat in grim array

I stood with my king and was ready to strike the cook down

But my king stood tall and reached out and shouldered a tray

And as we departed he said to me there, before warring and feud could begin

If I could not serve in the kitchen, then how could I serve them as king

 

In word and deed I follow my king, the wisest among us and fair

In word and deed I follow my king, the wisest among us and fair

In word and deed I follow my king, the wisest among us and fair

He Will Listen

When the weight of this world crashes down on you
God will listen to you
When the sky turns black and your thoughts turn blue
He will listen to you

He will listen to you, always listen to you
He understands how his children feel
God will listen to you

When the river of tears cannot be contained
God will listen to you
You're like a drowning man in the pouring rain
He will listen to you

He will listen to you, always listen to you
He understands how his children feel
God will listen to you

When the light explodes in a world gone wrong
God will listen to you
When your heart beats strong with a grateful song
He will listen to you

He will listen to you, always listen to you
He understands how his children feel
God will listen to you

Perhaps Love

Perhaps love is like a resting place
A shelter from the storm
It exists to give you comfort
It is there to keep you warm
And in those times of trouble
When you are most alone
The memory of love will bring you home

Perhaps love is like a window
Perhaps an open door
It invites you to come closer
It wants to show you more
And even if you lose yourself
And don't know what to do
The memory of love will see you through

Oh, Love to some is like a cloud
To some as strong as steel
For some a way of living
For some a way to feel

And some say love is holding on
And some say letting go
And some say love is everything
And some say they don't know

Perhaps love is like the ocean
Full of conflict, full of pain
Like a fire when it's cold outside
Thunder when it rains
If I should live forever
And all my dreams come true
My memories of love will be of you

And some say love is holding on
And some say letting go
And some say love is everything
Some say they don't know

Perhaps love is like the ocean
Full of conflict, full of pain
Like a fire when it's cold outside
Or thunder when it rains
If I should live forever
And all my dreams come true
My memories of love will be of you
