I was a young prince of a kingdom rich and bright Wisdom, stature, and favor I had But my own people they have cast me from their sight Thrown down from heaven to a barren land I lost the world, torn in two And it called in question everything I knew I lost the world but I found you And remembered that's exactly what you do In my abandonment I waited for your call And rose at every sound I thought a ring You took your time and when you take you take it all You gave me thirst so I'd yearn for the spring I lost the world I lost control You emptied me so you could make me full I lost the world and gained my soul I was broken and you came to make me whole They built a city with a tower to the skies And I tried every door but all my keys were wrong I was the lonely sheep they left for 99 It took so long to realize I don't belong, I don't belong Down by the waters you said "let my people go" But your people never wanted me to stay I lost the world, I lost myself I died and I descended into hell I lost the world and those scales fell You taught my soul to sing that it is well
