Solomon Sang |
| He had silver and gold |
| Riches untold |
| And the beast of the field lay at his feet |
| Everybody bowed |
| He wondered why or how |
| It all came to be |
| No one understood his sorrow |
| No one saw his pain |
| He way praying for grace |
| Ravens pray for rain |
| And when he stood before the altar |
| Solomon sang |
| Solomon sang |
| Wisdom was his calling |
| Pride sent him falling |
| Love was blissful misery |
| When the days grew dim |
| Life begin again |
| In the questions of the Queen |
| Did she understand his sorrow |
| Did she see his pain |
| Vanity and precious stones |
| Weigh you down the same |
| But when he laid down with Mekeda |
| Solomon sang |
| Solomon sang |
| Love for woman |
| Love for God |
| Not so simple |
| Not too hard |
| For the spirit |
| Pleasure is sweet |
| And surrender set him free |
| Free |
| Set him free |
| When our time is ended |
| How will we have spent it |
| Did we see the beauty in each day |
| Was it God’s devotion |
| Behind each emotion |
| Or did it all just slip away |
| Can you understand his sorrow |
| Can you see his pain |
| Nothing lives forever |
| But the love that bears your name |
| And when he stood up in the temple |
| Solomon sang |
| Solomon sang |
| Solomon sang |
| Solomon sang |
