You’re a king and a prisoner
One for each eye
Starting to believe your own lies
You hold every moment
Tight at the throat
But nothing’s ever out of control
You act like you know every answer
Making your world work just right
Never a question, never a doubt in sight

Brother don’t you know
No one’s too high to fall
No one’s strong enough to make their own way
Brother don’t you know
We’re all just beggars and thieves
In need of the very same grace
The very same grace

A days always coming
When our kingdom breaks down
Our plans are like glass on the ground
You act like you know every answer
Missing matters the most
Confessing our weakness

Cause that’s when God moves in close
Come down off of that mountain
Let go of everything
Come join, us who are broken
That mercy is healing
