Lyrics
Crown of Love
(Verse 1)
Thorns of pain, tears of shame
I hear them all calling me names.
When my friends won't be true,
I know that I can count on you.
(Refrain)
Broken dreams, broken body, broken heart.
I'm not beaten but I've found a place to start.
Crown of Love, Crown of Tears, Crown of Glory.
I'll put on the crown you've made for me.
(Verse 2)
Kicks and blows, fear that shows.
You're the only one who knows.
And though some laugh and stare
I know I have a friend who cares.
(Verse 3)
Oh my king, Oh my own.
You are bone of my bone.
I could never pay the price
Of seeing the world through your eyes.
