Lyrics

I was bewildered and became confused
I despaired, groaned, grieved and felt bruised
What have the gods brought upon my reign?
I was a king who made promises in vain

Yes, my soul seems whirled
Because I’m in battle with the world
What have I done but causing sorrow and pain
Tonight I’ll wash off my sins in the rain

O I’m a man who let his people down
Instead of a king I acted as a clown
I was a shepherd who betrayed his flock
Open the doors of redemption when I knock

Yes, my soul seems whirled
Because I’m in battle with the world
What have I done but causing sorrow and pain
Tonight I’ll wash off my sins in the rain
