Song Lyrics

"Beggar In The Alleyway"

by Rez (Resurrection Band)
Album: The Light Years

Tomorrow comes early in the morning l-ight
But like a spider in the shadows we sp-in in the n-ight
The wrong and right is black and white
Someone tell me why we hide from the truth that's within our s-ight
Felt like the sole performer in a one act play
That the critics wouldn't give the time of day
So I changed the characters rewrote the l-ines
Hoping that would change their minds
But no one came to s-ee not even me

And you were a beggar where the north wind spreads
Down garbage-strewn alleys you made your b-ed
Ooo and He was the lover who held your head
In a lap of compassion He cr-ied and said
St-ay with Me
Stay with Me until dawn
The night is cold why wonder on
You've been lonely far too long
Stay with Me until dawn
Put aside all you've done wrong
Nothing matters anymore
But the love you're searchin' f-or
But the love you're searchin' f-or

I-I

As the planets revolve around the sun
I've learned to revolve around the One
Who knows the score, who is the s-um
The pure and true and faultless One

I-I, 'cause I was a beggar in the alleyway
Until one desperate passion play
The dice were loaded and the deck was marked
And I lay dying in the dark
Lord You took me in, and covered me
Turned on the light that made me see
Who am I without Your Son
The King of kings the risen One
Ooo y-eah
Ooo yeah yeah

Tomorrow comes early in the morning light
Though weeping tarries through the night
Easter gave fair warning
Joy comes in, the m-orning
Joy comes in, the m-orning
Joy comes in, the m-orn-ing

A-ah
