king without a crown

capo 1st chord formations: 

G Bm Em

Say, you're all that I have and you're all that I need
Each and every day I pray to get to know you please

I want to be close to you, yes I'm so hungry
You're like water for my soul when it gets thirsty

Without you there's no me, you're the air that I breathe
Say, sometimes the world is dark and I just can't see

With these, demons surround all around to bring me down to negativity
But I believe, yes I believe, I said I believe

I'll stand on my own two feet, I won't be brought down to one knee
I fight with all of my might and get these demons to flee

Hashem's rays fire blaze burn bright and I believe

Hashem's rays fire blaze burn bright and I believe

Out of darkness comes light, twilight unto the heights
Crown heights all burnin' up all through the twilight

Said, 'thank you' to my G-d, now I finally got it right
And I'll fight with all o' my heart, and all o' my soul, and all o' my might

CHORUS

Em

what's this feeling, my love will rip a

D

hole in the ceiling, givin' myself to you from the

Em

essence of my being, and I sing to my G-d

D

songs of love and healing, I want Moshiach now--

Em

time we start revealing

Strip away the layers and reveal your soul
You got to give yourself up and then you become whole

You're a slave to yourself and you don't even know
You want to live the fast life but your brain moves slow

If you're trying to stay high then you're bound to stay low
You want G-d but you couldn’t deflate your ego

If you're already there, then there's nowhere to go
Your cup's already full then its bound to overflow

If you're drowning in the water's and you can't stay afloat
Ask Hashem for mercy and he'll throw you a rope

looking for help from G-d you say he couldn't be found
Looking up to the sky and lookin' beneath the ground

Like a King without his Crown Yes, you keep fallin' down
And you really want to live but you can't get rid of your frown

Tried to reach unto the heights, wound bound down on the ground
Givin' up your pride and the you heard a sound

Out of night comes day and out of day comes light
Nullified to the One like sunlight in a ray,

Makin' room for his love and a fire gonna blaze

Makin' room for his love and a fire gonna blaze

         CHORUS

So i lift up mine eyes where my help come from

And I see it come circlin' from the mountain--

Thunder, you feel it in your chest

Keep my mind at ease and my soul at rest [you're not vexed]

Thunder, you feel it in your chest

Keep my mind at ease and my soul at rest
