Solomon

[SOLOMON]
My father was King David and he worshiped night and day
And the Lord, She did love him, but sometimes he went astray
Dad walked in righteousness, his feet never touched the ground
And when he died, the Lord looked around and guess who She found

And I said
"Lord, Lord, lead me, I am only a little child
I don't know how to go out or come in"

[ALL]
Lord, Lord, lead him, he is only a little child
He don't know to go out or come in

[GOD]
Ooh, I like this one..

[SOLOMON]
In my sleep, God asked me, "Now, what should I give to you?"
Said, "Don't give me no gold or nothing too frou-frou
Give me an understanding mind, help me know what to do"
And She said

[GOD]
All right, Solomon, I'll make you wise, and I'll throw in the riches too!

[SOLOMON]
Lord, Lord, lead me, I am only a little child
I don't know how to go out or come in

[ENSEMBLE]
Lord, Lord, lead him, he is only a little child
He don't know how to go out or come in

[GOD]
Yes!

[SOLOMON]
Yes!

[GOD]
Yes, I've been waiting

[SOLOMON]
It's all for You

[GOD]
Will you stay true?

[SOLOMON]
Yes I will, and tell You what?

[GOD]
What's that?

[SOLOMON]
I'm gonna build a house for You

[GOD]
Oh, Solomon

[SOLOMON]
Gonna cover it in gold, real thick
But first, I'm gonna need my cubit stick

Let's build a temple
Let's build a temple, temple
Let's build a temple, temple, temple
Let's build a temple
Hey, now

Where's my cubit stick
Where's my cubit stick
Where's my cubit stick? Oh!
It's right here

It's gonna be 60 cubits long
20 cubits wide
30 cubits high
Solid gold from side to side

Cherubim of olivewood
10 cubits high
And Lebanese cedar
The best money can buy, hey, hey

Let's build a temple, hey, hey
I want some pillars of bronze, 18 cubits tall
Carve some lilies on the top, and make sure they're not too small
A pomegranate latticework don't cut those stones in here
Cut 'em outside so we don't offend Her ears, hey, hey

Let's build a temple, hey, hey
Now I don't know how long a cubit is
But it can't be long enough to tell you how much I love you, Lord!
Where's my cubit stick?
Where's my cubit stick?
Where's my cubit stick? Oh!
It's right here

Now I don't know how long a cubit is
But it can't be long enough to tell you how much I love You, Lord!
Where's my cubit stick?
Where's my cubit stick?
Where's my cubit stick? Oh!
It's right here

Now the Lord has said
That She would dwell in thick darkness
I have built You an exalted house
A place for You to dwell in forever
A place of deep darkness and wonder

[DAVE/ALEXIS/SOLOMON]
Darkness, wonder
Darkness and wonder
And darkness and wonder
Darkness and wonder

[DAVE/ALEXIS]
Darkness, wonder
Darkness, wonder
