Fool Me Once

by Danny Gokey

I saw the flames, feeding a poisonous strength.
Worthy of fear.
But as a child with four second futures,
I never dreamed that you would take me to a place that’s quite like here.
Say my brother, to think that I embraced in you.
Say my lover, to think I thought of you my true.
How do I look now, what would you have me do?
Say my Lord, bring me the head of my youth.
Tell me I am sleeping and this is a dream,
So I can go on loving as you would have me.
I won’t let my rival feel the joy.
I can see it all so clear.
I saw the flames, feeding a poisonous strength.
Worthy of fear.
I am no fool, who did you think you’re talking to?
My silly little one...
Betray me with a kiss, who did you think you’re messing.
My silly little one...
Tell me I am sleeping and this is a dream,
So I can go on loving as you would have me.
I won’t let my rival feel the joy.
I can’t see it all so clear.
I saw the flames, feeding a poisonous strength.
Worthy of fear.
Say my brother, I sing a thousand thanks for you.
Say my lover, what I see if you only knew.
How do I look now, what would you have me do?
Say my Lord, you brought me the body of truth.
