King's Song

When King David rose at midnight
The harp was not the thing
As he trembled in his chamber
With his finger on the string
And the desert door flew open
For his song to enter in
Till the song was taken on your wing

And the beggars round their fires
Hear that lovely harp song ring
And the watchman on the tower calls
If only my soul could sing

What the King plays
The guard prays
The beggars crave
And the music mind and body
Knock together at the prophet's cave

Make us a song like wind through the open house
Give us a love that never dies, that lives beyond bone
And the liquid of eyes
Send messengers of pardon for your poets on the road
And bring us swiftly to the tree of life

Silence and sound join in the air
Around and around joy and despair
Come dancing with each other
Into your light, into your light
Come dancing into your light
