Checker Work and Chain
I watched your glory fade just like the setting sun
Till nothing there was bright
Its splendor wasn't quite the same
The seed you'd sow would spoil the sunrise you begun
Jaded by its light
It fell on me despite the shame
These nets of checkerwork and chain
And hours spent in vain
Praying that they'd let me go
Surround me like a thorny crown
Encircled there I found
A bed where trusting lilies grow
Be strong and be a man, you sagely iterate
With a heart beguiled
And legacy defiled by sin
Situations intermix and complicate
Though I'm a little child
It's time my reconciling begins
These nets of checkerwork and chain
And hours spent in vain
Praying that they'd let me go
Surround me like a thorny crown
Encircled there I found
A bed where trusting lilies grow
Oh, aah, may the trusting lilies grow
Oh, aah, may the trusting lilies grow
These nets of checkerwork and chain
And hours spent in vain
Praying that they'd let me go
Surround me like a thorny crown
Encircled there I found
A bed where trusting lilies grow
Till nothing there was bright
Its splendor wasn't quite the same
The seed you'd sow would spoil the sunrise you begun
Jaded by its light
It fell on me despite the shame
These nets of checkerwork and chain
And hours spent in vain
Praying that they'd let me go
Surround me like a thorny crown
Encircled there I found
A bed where trusting lilies grow
Be strong and be a man, you sagely iterate
With a heart beguiled
And legacy defiled by sin
Situations intermix and complicate
Though I'm a little child
It's time my reconciling begins
These nets of checkerwork and chain
And hours spent in vain
Praying that they'd let me go
Surround me like a thorny crown
Encircled there I found
A bed where trusting lilies grow
Oh, aah, may the trusting lilies grow
Oh, aah, may the trusting lilies grow
These nets of checkerwork and chain
And hours spent in vain
Praying that they'd let me go
Surround me like a thorny crown
Encircled there I found
A bed where trusting lilies grow
