[00:00.00]Solomon Sang - Cassandra Wilson
[00:38.32]He had silver and gold
[00:45.53]Riches untold
[00:50.37]And the beast of the field lay at his feet
[00:59.62]Everybody bowed
[01:04.82]He wondered why or how
[01:09.60]It all came to be
[01:18.42]No one understood his sorrow
[01:23.31]No one saw his pain
[01:27.26]He was praying for grace
[01:31.95]Ravens pray for rain
[01:37.37]And when he stood before the altar
[01:41.65]Solomon sang
[01:51.55]Solomon sang
[02:03.42]Wisdom was his calling
[02:07.82]Pride sent him falling
[02:14.08]Love was blissful misery
[02:22.32]When the days grew dim
[02:26.31]Life begin again
[02:32.69]In the questions of the Queen
[02:41.03]Did she understand his sorrow
[02:45.61]Did she see his pain
[02:50.67]Vanity and precious stones
[02:54.35]Weigh you down the same
[03:00.03]But when he laid down with Mekeda
[03:04.19]Solomon sang
[03:14.26]Solomon sang
[03:24.91]Love for woman
[03:27.20]Love for God
[03:29.48]Not so simple
[03:31.84]Not too hard
[03:34.12]For the spirit
[03:36.56]Pleasure is sweet
[03:39.16]And surrender set him free
[03:46.10]Free
[03:52.63]Set him free
[04:02.87]When our time is ended
[04:07.63]How will we have spent it
[04:12.64]Did we see the beauty in each day
[04:22.85]Was it God's devotion
[04:26.67]Behind each emotion
[04:32.21]Or did it all just slip away
[04:40.15]Can you understand his sorrow
[04:45.31]Can you see his pain
[04:49.06]Nothing lives forever
[04:52.39]But the love that bears your name
[04:59.33]And when he stood up in the temple
[05:03.29]Solomon sang
[05:12.90]Solomon sang
[05:22.76]Solomon sang
[05:31.55]Solomon sang
