Listen Through Me

I've seen his ragged shoes

The soles are worn straight through

Well I proclaimed

The king has sang the blues

If you've got better news

Then make it play

He laid aside his crown

All our crimes he carried

Was lifted from the ground

With our burdens buried

Listen to me

Though I speak of sober things

Listen through me

Though we're men of lips unclean

I speak truly

What you only think you've heard Everything

Everything

Everything hangs on a word

Sparing no expense

He made recompense

For all the earth

The story's an offense

So get down from that fence

And bless or curse

He laid aside his crown

All our crimes he carried

Was lifted from the ground

With our burdens buried

The shadows all had flown

In the light diminished

He emptied out his lungs

Crying it is finished

Listen to me

Though I speak of sober things

Listen through me

Though we're men of lips unclean

I speak truly

What you only think you've heard Everything

Everything

Everything hangs on a word

A word...

The shadows all had flown

In the light diminished

He emptied out his lungs

Crying it is finished

Listen to me

Though I speak of sober things

Listen through me

Though we're men of lips unclean

I speak truly

What you only think you've heard Everything

Everything

Everything hangs on a word
