[Verse 1] Its so easy to cash in these chips on my shoulders So easy to loose this old tongue like a tiger Its easy to let all this bitterness smolder Just to hide it away like a cigarette lighter [Chorus 1] Its easy to curse and to hurt and to hinder Its easy to not have the heart to remember That I am a priest and a prince in the Kingdom of God [Verse 2] Ive got voices that scream in my head like a siren Fears that I feel in the night when I sleep Stupid choices I made when I played in the mire Like a kid in the mud on some dirty blind street [Chorus 2] Ive got sorrow to spare, Ive got loneliness too Ive got blood on these hands that hold on to the truth That I am a priest and a prince in the Kingdom of God [Verse 3] I swore on the Bible not to tell a lie But Ive lied and lied And I crossed my heart and I hoped to die And Ive died and died [Verse 4] But if its true that you gathered my sin in your hand And you cast it as far as the east is from the west If its true that you put on the flesh of a man And you walked in my shoes through the shadow of death [Chorus 3] If its true that you dwell in the halls of my heart Then Im not just a fool with a fancy guitar No, I am a priest and a prince in the Kingdom of God
