Dave Schiffman - Listen Through Me lyrics

[Verse 1] See these ragged shoes? The soles have worn straight through While I've proclaimed The king who sang the blues If you've got better news Then make it plain [Pre-Chorus 1] He laid aside his crown All our crimes he carried Was lifted from the ground And with our burdens buried [Chorus] Listen to me, though I speak of sober things Listen through me, though a man of lips unclean I speak truly what you only think you've heard Everything hangs on a word [Verse 2] Sparing no expense He made recompense For all the earth This story's an offense So get down from that fence And bless or curse [Pre-Chorus 2] He laid aside his crown All our crimes he carried Was lifted from the ground And with our burdens buried When shadows all had clung and the light diminished He emptied out his lungs, crying "It is finished!" [Chorus] Listen to me, though I speak of sober things Listen through me, though a man of lips unclean I speak truly what you only think you've heard Everything hangs on a word
