The Power & the Glory

Lyrics

[Verse 1] What if I were to disobey Give you back the power? Would I be punished like a child And left on my own? Would you think me ungrateful And send me away If I couldn't make you happy? [Pre-Chorus] As empty handed leaving as I was when I came Tiptoeing through the rubble and running through the flames As empty handed leaving as I was when I came Tiptoeing through the rubble and running through the flames As empty handed leaving as I was when I came Tiptoeing through the rubble and running through the flames As empty handed leaving as I was when I came Tiptoeing through the rubble and running through the flames [Verse 2] What if I were to disobey Give you back the power? Would you be the one to turn your back And cast the first stone? Would you think me a coward Though I'd be the hero And come home a hero? [Chorus] I gave you back your power, I gave you back your glory Well, really, I hadn't noticed Until I had the power to give it all back Until I felt the glory when the buildings collapsed I gave you back your power, I gave you back your glory Well, really, I hadn't noticed Until I had the power to give it all back Until I felt the glory when the buildings collapsed [Pre-Chorus] As empty handed leaving as I was when I came Tiptoeing through the rubble and running through the flames As empty handed leaving as I was when I came Tiptoeing through the rubble and running through the flames As empty handed leaving as I was when I came Tiptoeing through the rubble and running through the flames As empty handed leaving as I was when I came Tiptoeing through the rubble and running through the flames [Chorus] I gave you back your power, I gave you back your glory Well, really, I hadn't noticed Until I had the power to give it all back Until I felt the glory when the buildings collapsed I gave you back your power, I gave you back your glory Well, really, I hadn't noticed Until I had the power to give it all back Until I felt the glory when the buildings collapsed [Outro] I gave you back your power, I gave you back your glory I gave you back your power, I gave you back your glory I gave you back your power, I gave you back your glory I gave you back your power, I gave you back your glory
