On Bended Knee

I gave you everything short of a wedding ring
You gave me everything except your heart
What would a wedding bring
That’s worth remembering
More than me promising we’ll never part?

Show me how beautiful life can be
Before I stand on bended knee
Show me how good of a wife you can be
Before I stand on bended knee

From peasants to swords and
From swords back to plowshares
All of the citizens must play their part
You ask me to die for king and for country
But are you just leading me into the dark?

Show me how beautiful life can be
Before I stand on bended knee
Show me the kingdom you see in your dreams
Before I stand on bended knee

Oh ohh… On bended knee…

Penance and Pentacost, all that religion’s brought
Blessed by the angels or touched by the priest
For your forgiveness we give up control
Rapture’s the goal but it’s just out of reach

Show me how beautiful life can be
Before I stand on bended knee
Show me how good of a god you can be
Before I stand on bended knee
