Solomon

Lyrics

[SOLOMON] My father was King David and he worshiped night and day And the Lord, She did love him, but sometimes he went astray Dad walked in righteousness, his feet never touched the ground And when he died, the Lord looked around and guess who She found And I said "Lord, Lord, lead me, I am only a little child I don't know how to go out or come in" [ALL] Lord, Lord, lead him, he is only a little child He don't know to go out or come in [GOD] Ooh, I like this one.. [SOLOMON] In my sleep, God asked me, "Now, what should I give to you?" Said, "Don't give me no gold or nothing too frou-frou Give me an understanding mind, help me know what to do" And She said [GOD] All right, Solomon, I'll make you wise, and I'll throw in the riches too! [SOLOMON] Lord, Lord, lead me, I am only a little child I don't know how to go out or come in [ENSEMBLE] Lord, Lord, lead him, he is only a little child He don't know how to go out or come in [GOD] Yes! [SOLOMON] Yes! [GOD] Yes, I've been waiting [SOLOMON] It's all for You [GOD] Will you stay true? [SOLOMON] Yes I will, and tell You what? [GOD] What's that? [SOLOMON] I'm gonna build a house for You [GOD] Oh, Solomon [SOLOMON] Gonna cover it in gold, real thick But first, I'm gonna need my cubit stick Let's build a temple Let's build a temple, temple Let's build a temple, temple, temple Let's build a temple Hey, now Where's my cubit stick Where's my cubit stick Where's my cubit stick? Oh! It's right here It's gonna be 60 cubits long 20 cubits wide 30 cubits high Solid gold from side to side Cherubim of olivewood 10 cubits high And Lebanese cedar The best money can buy, hey, hey Let's build a temple, hey, hey I want some pillars of bronze, 18 cubits tall Carve some lilies on the top, and make sure they're not too small A pomegranate latticework don't cut those stones in here Cut 'em outside so we don't offend Her ears, hey, hey Let's build a temple, hey, hey Now I don't know how long a cubit is But it can't be long enough to tell you how much I love you, Lord! Where's my cubit stick? Where's my cubit stick? Where's my cubit stick? Oh! It's right here Now I don't know how long a cubit is But it can't be long enough to tell you how much I love You, Lord! Where's my cubit stick? Where's my cubit stick? Where's my cubit stick? Oh! It's right here Now the Lord has said That She would dwell in thick darkness I have built You an exalted house A place for You to dwell in forever A place of deep darkness and wonder [DAVE/ALEXIS/SOLOMON] Darkness, wonder Darkness and wonder And darkness and wonder Darkness and wonder [DAVE/ALEXIS] Darkness, wonder Darkness, wonder
