[Intro] Son of the King Son of the King Tell me who I serve Tell me who I serve [Verse 1] I grew up in the gate, where the names get weighed One bloodline, two roads, one crown, one grave Absalom looking back with a perfect sheen Hands in the air like, “Look at me, look at me” But Jonathan gave up the robe, gave up the right Took a blade of trust and a bread of life One said, “Build me a tower out of borrowed breath” One said, “Take what you need, I can live with less” I got a split in my chest like a temple seam Flesh says “prove it,” faith says “be unseen” If I chase the mirror, I lose the face If I kneel in the dust, I inherit grace [Pre-Chorus] I can feel that pull I can feel that pull One path wants applause One path wants the King [Chorus] Son of the King, son of the King Will I bow low or grab my thing? Son of the King, son of the King I want Your heart more than my name Son of the King, son of the King Let Jonathan live, let Absalom fade Son of the King, son of the King I want Your heart more than my name [Verse 2] Absalom hair caught high like a banner raised Pretty on the outside, rotten underneath the praise He stole the crowd with a soft-front grin Turned brother against brother just to fit him in But Jonathan stepped out, met the cliff face first Said, “Your will is good, even when it hurts” No throne-claw, no lie, no side-eye scheme Just a covenant cut through the middle of me That’s the war when the songs go loud Will I chase a throne or I kneel down now? Will I feed the fire or I tend the flame? Will I wear the wound or protect Your name? [Pre-Chorus] I can feel that pull I can feel that pull One path wants applause One path wants the King [Chorus] Son of the King, son of the King Will I bow low or grab my thing? Son of the King, son of the King I want Your heart more than my name Son of the King, son of the King Let Jonathan live, let Absalom fade Son of the King, son of the King I want Your heart more than my name [Bridge] [Scratch vox: “my name” / “Your name”] If I climb by taking, I will fall by taking If I love by serving, then my soul stays waking Here I am with nothing but the offering Here I am with all of me, not the counterfeit king Not my house Not my face Not my plan Not my praise Your way Your throne Your breath Your home [Final Chorus] Son of the King, son of the King Will I bow low or grab my thing? Son of the King, son of the King I want Your heart more than my name Son of the King, son of the King Let Jonathan live, let Absalom fade Son of the King, son of the King I want Your heart more than my name [Outro] Son of the King Let me be found faithful Son of the King Let me be found faithful
