the palms of my hands are sweaty
i’m riding into town
hosannah to the highest
i’m here to claim the crown
they hail me as messiah
but that’s not who i am
david is my bloodline
and i am just a man
but no one understands me
they want a daily cure
for whatever they think ails them
and makes them so cock-sure
that i can give them reason
to latch on to the lure
