Paving My Way

Lighters In the Air

A chronicle of Solomon's demise:

Verse 1: 
Solomon, son of David 
Ascended to the throne
Solomon, son of David
Started strong
Solomon, son of David
What could possibly go wrong?
The world is your oyster
Look at all those pearls!

Verse 2:
Solomon, son of David
Had his proverbs and his songs
Solomon, son of David
Reigned for long
Solomon, son of David
Strung his enemies along
The world is your oyster
A trap with all its pearls

Chorus:
Seven hundred wives
Many more concubines 
Discarded the silver for the gold
Your wisdom and your wealth
Couldn't keep you from filth
You couldn't keep under control

Verse 3:
Solomon, son of David
Had fawning fans galore 
Solomon, son of David
Wanted more
Solomon, son of David
Lost his soul upon the shore
Opening the oyster
He thought was his for sure

Solomon, Son Of David

Songwriting is a passion.  I am a husband/father/pastor in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.  My soundcloud feed contains demos, works in progress and all manner of audio madness.
