Beggar In The Alleyway

Tomorrow comes early in the morning light
But, like a spider in the shadows, we spin in the night
The wrong and right is in black and white
Someone tell me why we hide from the truth that's within our sight
Felt like the sole performer on a one act play that the critics wouldn't give the time of day
So I changed the characters, rewrote the lines hoping that would change their minds
But no one came to see, not even me

And you were a beggar where the north wind spreads
Down garbage-strewn alleys you made your bed
Ooh, and he was the lover who held your head in a lap of compassion
He cried and said, "Stay with me, stay with me until dawn
The night is cold, why wander on?
You've been lonely far too long, stay with me until dawn
Put aside all you've done wrong
Nothing matters anymore, but the love you're searching for
But the love you're searching for."

Ahh

As planets revolve around the sun, I've learned to revolve around the one who knows the score, who is the sum
The true, and pure, and faultless one

'Cause I was a beggar in the alleyway until one desperate passion play
The dice were loaded, the deck was marked, and I lay dying in the dark
Lord took me in and covered me, turned on the light that made me see who am I without your son, the King of Kings, the risen one
Ooh yeah
Ooh, yeah, yeah

Tomorrow comes early in the morning light, though weeping tarries through the night
Easter gave fair warning: joy comes in the morning
Joy comes in the morning
Joy comes in the morning

Ah
