KING OR CRIPPLE
verse 1
Em D/F# G
King or cripple what have I become'
Em D/F# G
Beneath these kingly robes there lies a fragile man
Em D/F# G
What made me a king can sometimes cripple
Em D/F# G
All that you give can sometimes rob my innocence
Em D/F# G
Why do you let us walk upon a cliff so steep
Em D/F# G
When deep below the sea there lies a bed of gold
Em D/F# G
And if this should be our battle place
Em D/F# G
Don't let me fall, don't let us fall
CHOURUS 2x
Em D/F# G
Keep me, wonâ't you
Em D/F# G
keep me
verse 2
Em D/F# G
I love to hold the hand of one who healed the blind
Em D/F# G
And saw the leper run into your arms of love
Em D/F# G
King or cripple, they were the same to you
Em D/F# G
You took the broken man and you treat him like a king
Chorus 2x
