He had silver and gold
Riches untold
And the beast of the field lay at his feet


Everybody bowed
He wondered why or how

It all came to be

No one understood his sorrow

No one saw his pain
He way praying for grace
Ravens pray for rain


And when he stood before the altar
Solomon sang

Solomon sang

Wisdom was his calling

Pride sent him falling
Love was blissful misery


When the days grew dim
Life begin again
In the questions of the Queen


Did she understand his sorrow
Did she see his pain

Vanity and precious stones
Weigh you down the same


Solomon sang
Solomon sang


Love for woman
Love for God
Not so simple

Not too hard
For the spirit
Pleasure is sweet

And surrender set him free
Free
Set him free


When our time is ended
How will we have spent it

Did we see the beauty in each day

Was it God's devotion

Behind each emotion
Or did it all just slip away


Can you understand his sorrow
Can you see his pain
Nothing lives forever

But the love that bears your name

And when he stood up in the temple

Solomon sang

Solomon sang

Solomon sang
Solomon sang
