The only thing that budges waiting on a judge is
another piece of land. We need a better plan.
How about a king? Yeah.
People, if I do, you only give your loyalty to royalty
that rightfully belongs to me.
Not a good thing! Yeah!
Judge and prophet, Samuel, go tell all of Israel
I’ll give you what you want, I’ll give you Saul,
but you’re not out of the woods, yeah.
It started off okay but then his will got in the way
and when I told him wipe away the enemy
he spared the king and his goods, yeah. Yeah. But
There’s a city in Zion
where the chosen can pray, yeah
And if it’s me you rely on,
you could have it today, yeah.
I took away the favor that I gave to Saul and later
told the prophet Nathan find the shepherd boy
that does the whole harp and dance. Yeah.
David slew Goliath and the king could not deny it,
but he started getting jealous of the boy
and wouldn’t give him a chance. Yeah.
David loved the king,
but then the king went after Dave
and so he hid up in a cave,
and then he wrote some of the psalms that we sing. Yeah.
Saul died in a battle and David got rattled,
but he got back in the saddle,
Took Jerusalem, and long live the king, yeah! Yeah!
Now there's a city in Zion
where the chosen can pray, yeah.
And if it’s me you rely on,
you could have it today, yeah.
In the city of Zion even Dave lost his way, yeah.
Took the wife of Uriah, and baby he paid, yeah.
But there's a city in Zion
where the chosen can pray, yeah.
And if it’s me you rely on,
you could keep it today, yeah.
Yes, there's a city in Zion
where the chosen can pray, yeah!
And if it’s me you rely on,
you could keep it today, yeah!
You could keep it today yeah, yeah!
You could keep it today yeah!
And it’s still there today yeah, yeah!
Everything was okay, yeah,
For a while, anyway!
