David Lee Crowned

Lyrics

[Verse 1] He came in with the dust on his boots From a back-road town with a lion’s proof Cold hands, steady eyes A name that the whole room knew He didn’t ask for a golden throne Just a seat where the weak could grow But every step said plain and true This crown was waiting for him too [Pre-Chorus] Hear that drumline rise Hear that old fear crack Every locked-up door Just swung right back [Chorus] David Lee, take the crown David Lee, lift it now All the bells in the town Say it loud, say it loud David Lee, born to reign David Lee, blood and flame Kneel low, then stand proud David Lee, take the crown (take the crown) [Verse 2] He spoke to the broken, called them near Put hope in the hands of the hungry here Built his rule on a promise kept On every vow he never let slip And the jealous ones came with sharpened tongues But his heart stayed hard as a war drum He won with grace, he won with nerve A king by the life he served [Pre-Chorus] Hear that drumline rise Hear that old fear crack Every locked-up door Just swung right back [Chorus] David Lee, take the crown David Lee, lift it now All the bells in the town Say it loud, say it loud David Lee, born to reign David Lee, blood and flame Kneel low, then stand proud David Lee, take the crown (take the crown) [Bridge] Raise up the banners high Let the old walls shake Name after name gets passed But this one won’t break From the edge of the field To the highest stone David Lee, David Lee You wear the thunder home [Final Chorus] David Lee, take the crown David Lee, lift it now All the bells in the town Say it loud, say it loud David Lee, born to reign David Lee, blood and flame Kneel low, then stand proud David Lee, take the crown (take the crown) David Lee, take the crown David Lee, take the crown (take the crown)
