lyrics

Things are different down here
People say they love you, then they disappear
I’m the king of all I dreamed of,
but nobody seems to care
Things are different down here

When I sat at His right hand
Passing judgment on the world at His command
How He loved me, from above me
That’s the thing I could not stand
when I sat at His right hand

It doesn’t seem so far to fall
when you are up there, looking down
but from the ground you see eternity
and a distance so profound,
there’ll be no forgiveness now

A race that can’t be run
A war that can’t be won
A song that can’t be sung
just to feed my hunger

I don’t need your love
I don’t need your love to see what I’ve become
but look at me, now
I am free, now
Free to build my kingdom come
on the dark side of the sun

Things are different down here...
