The Power & The Glory lyrics

What if I were to disobey

And give you back the power

Would I be punished like a child,

And left on my own?

Would you think me ungrateful,

And send me away,

If I couldn't make you happy?

As empty handed leaving as I was when I came

Tiptoeing through the rubble

And running through the flames

What if I was to disobey,

And give you back the power

Would you be the one to turn your back

And cast the first stone?

Would you think me a coward?

Though I'd be the hero

And come home a hero

I gave you back your power,

I gave you back your glory,

Well really, I hadn't noticed,

Until I had the power to give it all back

Until I felt the glory when the buildings collapsed

As empty handed leaving as I was when I came

Tiptoeing through the rubble

And running through the flames
