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
