Lesser god (Live) - Jenny & Tyler - There Will Be A Song - Music and Lyrics by Jennifer Somers (BMI) and Tyler Somers (BMI)
© 2018 One Eyed Cat Music (BMI) - Written March 26th, 2018 | F#m A-432 | 4/4 swing

I tried again to give it all, to give my all
But I got lost in the shine of gold; I tried to hold that glory
I chased the lights, took in praise for pride; I gave my eyes all they wanted

I don’t want to write that kind of song
I don’t want to give them anymore of my heart
I don’t want to waste the greater love
I don’t want to kiss a lesser god

But I lied and ran and did it all, did it all wrong
You showed me life and death, the wine and bread, and you said I love you
Still I lied with them, more of me died again and I tried to spin it, like I didn't know the truth

I don’t want to write that kind of song
I don’t want to give them anymore
I don’t want to waste the greater love
I don’t want to kiss a lesser god

Don’t ever let me go back; don’t ever let me go back; don’t ever let me go back; don’t let me ever go

'Cause it's you I want, you, to take me, truth, use the pure and ruined to unite this divided heart and make it soon, hold me close and form a new heart in me, where you are everything and I can hear you singing, singing to me now

I don’t want to write that kind of song
I don’t want to give them anymore

I don’t want to write that kind of song
I don’t want to give them anymore of my heart
I don’t want to waste the greater love
I don’t want to kiss a lesser god
I don’t want to kiss a lesser god
