The Power & The Glory

08.The Power & The Glory
.
What if I were to disobey,
and give you back the power?
Would I be punished like a child and left on my own?
Would you think me ungrateful, and send me away
If I couldn't make you happy?
.
As empty handed leaving, as I was when I came
Tiptoeing through the rubble,
and running through the flames
As empty handed leaving, as I was when I came
Tiptoeing through the rubble,
and running through the flames
As empty handed leaving, as I was when I came
Tiptoeing through the rubble,
and running through the flames
As empty handed leaving, as I was when I came
Tiptoeing through the rubble,
and running through the flames
.
What if I were to disobey,

and give you back the power?
Would you be the one to turn your back,
and cast the first stone?
Would you think me a coward?
Though I'd be the hero, and come home a hero
.
I gave you back your power,
I gave you back your glory,
Well really, I hadn't noticed
Until I had the power, to give it all back,
until I felt the glory,
When the buildings collapsed
I gave you back your power,
I gave you back your glory,
Well really, I hadn't noticed
Until I had the power, to give it all back,
until I felt the glory,
When the buildings collapsed
.
As empty handed leaving, as I was when I came
Tiptoeing through the rubble,
and running through the flames
As empty handed leaving, as I was when I came
Tiptoeing through the rubble,
and running through the flames
As empty handed leaving, as I was when I came
Tiptoeing through the rubble,
and running through the flames
As empty handed leaving, as I was when I came
Tiptoeing through the rubble,
and running through the flames
.
I gave you back your power,
I gave you back your glory,
Well really, I hadn't noticed
Until I had the power, to give it all back,
until I felt the glory,
When the buildings collapsed
I gave you back your power,
I gave you back your glory,
Well really, I hadn't noticed
Until I had the power, to give it all back,
until I felt the glory,
When the buildings collapsed
.
I gave you back your power,
I gave you back your glory

I gave you back your power,
I gave you back your glory
