lyrics

Melodies soothing the heart of a king
Words and a voice and a new song to sing
Music to burn like a fire
Igniting an aching desire

That’s what I want, that’s what I want

Colors that dance for the cold distant soul
Where hope has bowed down to the darkest control
A prism of harmony
To sing in the place that knows a need to be free

That’s what I want, that’s what I want

Now compassion has learned how to lie
To the man that I saw in the street who forgot how to cry
And blessed is not what I see
But is this the cup that you have given to me

That’s not what I want, but that’s what I want

A father whose joy is his son
A new kind of love that’s only just begun
It’s the life that I’ve dreamed of
Made from pain mixed with hope found in death given life
Saved by love
