lyrics

once again you came into this blissful sense of never knowing why
you pulled it from a paragraph, you slipped into this slimy mess inside
let's pretend oh once again you never opened up enough to fly
the King will find you in your chair or in your bed always you abide

O King, deliver me
O King, deliver me, yeah
I'd no idea, I was so blind
O King, deliver me
O King, deliver me, yeah
Everything is out of my mind

with a pen i write in prose this ordinary sense now he replied
a verse is to rhyme this public hymn a tale is to sing a passing song of woe
so let's pretend oh once again that dreams have legs and walk through passerby's
now i can never see the end, but at least i have Your joy down deep inside

let's take a journey down a road we've never seen or even questioned why
i love the coolness of the rain i love the life that passes through in green
the King has given everything his spirit courses through us by and by
He girds my heart i'll stand with him he burns His fire in the night sky
