Esther

Esther called me today
She's a bona fide star
Said I spoke to a friend
Who wants to know how you are

With a shake in her voice
She said: I'm doing ok
With a shake in her voice
She said: I can't live this way

She doesn't know why
She wants to laugh but still she cries
Still she cries

Spoke to Esther today
She said it's hard to play queen
Though she fought it at first
This pain's become her routine

And she wants to believe
But the image won't play
And she wants to believe
But that's a long time away

Kingdoms collide
As she tries to rule the world inside
She starts to cry

Take that crown off my Queen Esther
It's too much for anyone to bear
Don't hide your face Queen Esther
My King says he'll meet you anywhere

He says it's ok
He knows your pain
He says it's ok
He'll show you the way
He'll take your pain
He'll show you the way

Esther called me today
She's a bona fide star
Said I spoke to a friend
Who wants to know how you are
