Pharaohs and Friends

My lung is hurting and I'm losing half my sight
 But I'll put on my lashes and a halo for the night
 I will tell you stories about the seven seas
 Of monsters and of dragons, heroic princesses
 In the enchanted forest I will let your mind go wild
 You thought God would be a soldier
 But she's just a little child
 I'm working on a puzzle
 But the pieces are a mess
 I keep pushing the agenda
 Like it were a game of chess
 I will tell you stories of pharaohs and friends
 Of the ones who live in shadows
 You know how this story ends
 In little town and big town
 You let your mind go wild
 Expecting God to be a soldier
 When she's just a little child
 And though my heart is rushing
 It's skipping every beat
 Have you ever felt the gravity
 It's your own damn heavy feet
 And I can tell you stories
 Of pirates and a pea
 But you'll just keep deciding
 What you see and do not see
 In the tower on the mountain
 She let her mind go wild
 Expecting God to be a soldier
 When she's just a little child
 In this world of lies and half truths
 I closed my eyes and smiled
 If you thought god would be a soldier
 You are just a little child
