VERSE 1
who can find the one that's capable
that's more precious than jewels
a partner in crime like Bonnie and Clyde
but walks with gentler shoes
VERSE 2
you know that one that's like a sailing boat
she's carried by the breeze
she'll stay up with me through the sickly nights
she's a mean cook that makes some smiling babies
CHORUS
what would it take for you to fall
to go and obey gravity's law
where do I even start with a girl that's got it all
what would it take -- to fall in love with me
VERSE 3
She reaches out to poor with hands so strong
sharp -- instructions on her tongue
every-body knows her as a blessed one
and she wears her honor like a robe
BRIDGE
I won't settle
I'll wait at the city gates for you
OUTRO
Woman, I'm gonna' love you
like you deserve to be loved

VERSE 1
would you reject me if I was covered in gold?
if all the cracks you see were caulked with royalty
from the days of old
a single grain of me was worth eternity
I could be bought, but never sold
would you still reject me?
PRE-CHORUS
does it make you stumble?
the very cast you were made for?
do you know that you're searched for?
oh stranger of love. . .
CHORUS
we are royalty, hands like a king
and veins that pump with diamonds
my tongue is like a diadem
heart shaped like a gem, so shiny
my tummy's filled with glory
VERSE 2
would you accept a gift that never spoils?
respond to a name of a Prince of a Queen
from a story never told
if every ounce of your heart and your mind and your soul
was being built into a beautiful home
would you still accept it?

VERSE 1
Oh one day, I heard a tune that led to dancing just like a fool
so i asked my servant, just what is the world comin' too
well he said "master, your fathers baby boy has finally come home, isn't that a joy"
he's safe and sound, so come join the party and put on your dancin' shoes
VERSE 2
I said are you serious??? Look all these years I've served and kept my mouth shut
yet you ignored me, you spoiled my whoring brother, with pig slop running down his face
CHORUS
father, please explain to me / what I just don't see
when you reward with gold / the prodigal
but son you're always with me and everything I have is yours
you see your brother was dead and now he's alive again
VERSE 3
this is all got to be a joke, or some kind of silly game
since when does the looser win the dame?
No, No! Not in my story, this ending is just too unfair
VERSE 4
brother that coat you wear, it's just my size
and that cow you eat... I thought you were a vegan watchin' your size
we all know this party and this lindy dancin is because of me
BRIDGE
oh your brother was dead, and didn't even know
he starved himself with a money game, but I just had to let him go
now son you've got a choice to make, with open arms you too can come home
cause you've been gone for so long

VERSE 1
if I told you that I missed you
when I'm sittin' next to you
would you roll your eyes and say, " baby come on "
VERSE 2
see I caught you laughin'
so you go deny it
see you hide that smile
baby come on
CHORUS
We got this young love -- young
young love
VERSE 3
there's no need t rush things
been together for a minute
like fine wine, we got soul
VERSE 4
kiss right past those wrinkles
you say "baby I'm used up"
but I gotta, gotta, have ya, have ya
this is the genesis of love
CHORUS
BRIDGE
you're still my little say ray
and now you've had my baby
"and you're my honest Abe;
one ham of a man, century of handsome

VERSE 1
the boys are back drivin' out those demons
touching leapers
knocking on doors, sleeping with strangers, joking with whores and raising the dead
VERSE 2
one at time they open their wide mouths
look what we've done
the news spread like fire, burning the crowd, it's out of control, oh lord!
VERSE 3
so they retreated, the crispy crowd followed
"what's this kingdom?"
tummies are rumbling, we're broke as a joke, oh Lord it's time for a miracle
CHORUS
feed the thousands gypsy boy
I'll trade your two fish, five loaves for my flesh
and let you drink my blood in exchange
oh wait and see oh gypsy boy
your gift will satisfy your enemies
let's break this bread and pray, enjoy the feast
VERSE 4
as fast as a skat! everybody sat down
to recline and dine
and just like a flash, fish and bread everywhere, filled-to-the-brim- PRAISE THE LORD!
BRIDGE
"HOLY" (7x) HO
WORTHY - WO
MIGHTY - MY
LORDY - LO

VERSE 1 (female)
all night long on my bed I dreamed for the one
my heart loves and adores and is longing for
I've searched through the streets and city squares
for my charming, my beloved, my heart.
VERSE 2 (male)
to hold and to kiss my woman's hand
like a song from a king named Solomon
just to hear your sweet voice and brush your face
my darling, my beloved, my dove.
CHORUS (male)
you always wait -- for
the perfect fit -- for
VERSE 3 (male)
I imagine your lips of fine scarlet
and your hair, flowing curls, smelling of ginger bread
just a glance from your eyes like ocean tides
you've stolen my heart
my darling, my beloved my dove
VERSE 4 (female)
so sweet like and apple on my lips
is the one who embraces with his right hand
and with his left arm he cradles my love faint head
oh my charming, my beloved, my heart.
CHORUS 2 (female)
loving -- waiting -- for ever
in your arms -- someday
- INSTRUMENTAL -
CHORUS (together)
love you always / waiting forever
for the perfect fit in your arms someday for...
