Song Description

a story of a songwriter, with a task to write a song about the greatest man that ever walked the earth. He faces many obstacles, and people who want him to fail, but he finds a way to write the song and make peace with his destiny.

Lyrics

Deep within the mind of an unknown lyricist, a new song flows inside his veins
A song that tells the message of a burdened man whose love would conquer anything

And in this basement our young composer spills his blood, and bears his soul upon the paper
And all these cancers try to steal his breath away to keep him from what he has to say

(chorus)
And you want to feel alive
And you walk a different line

As he walks the streets of gold so unrefined he knows where his spirit rests
People stare and point and shame him for his life, but he finds peace above it all

(chorus)
And you want to feel alive
And you walk a different line

While they call him names that you and I ignore, he knows who he is inside
Late at night upon a coffee-stained piano many soulful tears are cried
Though he suffers to tell the story of a king, in the end he flies away

(chorus)
And you want to feel alive
And you walk a different line

Upon his head a crown of faithfulness is placed, and he has nothing left to say
