Bathsheba
You saw me bathing on my roof, where I was supposed to be
You left your mission and your men, took me secretly
Did you think this through?
You made a mess then made it worse to shield you from the truth
Oh, but everybody knows whose child is growing in my womb
You might think I'd like being queen, but
You stole my body
Destroyed my family
And I know I'll be blamed for your sin
But let the record show
I wanted none of this
None of this
History repeats and so I shouldn't be surprised
Your son has raped your daughter while you chose to close your eyes
And of course, it gets worse
Brother kills his brother, and you mourn but you won't save
As they follow in the footsteps of the legacy you gave
Do you understand you are the man?
You stole my body
Destroyed my family
And I know I'll be blamed for your sin
But let the record show
I wanted none of this
None of this
Your poetry is beautiful, you're after God's own heart
Oh but all I want is solace and my life not torn apart
Is that such an ask?
How long, how long
O God, how long?
You're lying on your deathbed and I see the future fast
You won't make a move to save my life unless I act
So this time you won't hide
You gave me a promise that our son would take the throne
Maybe he will stop this bloodshed, do the work you left undone
Maybe he will honor me
But you stole my body
Destroyed my family
And I know I'll be blamed for your sin
But let the record show
I wanted none of this
None of this
You left your mission and your men, took me secretly
Did you think this through?
You made a mess then made it worse to shield you from the truth
Oh, but everybody knows whose child is growing in my womb
You might think I'd like being queen, but
You stole my body
Destroyed my family
And I know I'll be blamed for your sin
But let the record show
I wanted none of this
None of this
History repeats and so I shouldn't be surprised
Your son has raped your daughter while you chose to close your eyes
And of course, it gets worse
Brother kills his brother, and you mourn but you won't save
As they follow in the footsteps of the legacy you gave
Do you understand you are the man?
You stole my body
Destroyed my family
And I know I'll be blamed for your sin
But let the record show
I wanted none of this
None of this
Your poetry is beautiful, you're after God's own heart
Oh but all I want is solace and my life not torn apart
Is that such an ask?
How long, how long
O God, how long?
You're lying on your deathbed and I see the future fast
You won't make a move to save my life unless I act
So this time you won't hide
You gave me a promise that our son would take the throne
Maybe he will stop this bloodshed, do the work you left undone
Maybe he will honor me
But you stole my body
Destroyed my family
And I know I'll be blamed for your sin
But let the record show
I wanted none of this
None of this
