[00:00:00] Closet Chronicles - Kansas

[00:00:00] Written by：Kerry Livgren/Steve Walsh

[00:00:06] Once carried through the current and being swept away

[00:00:12] The king is in his closet he's hiding from today

[00:00:18] And though he owns all fortunes this room is where he'll stay

[00:00:24] And his world is filled with darkness turning grey

[00:00:31] Gazing out the window of the forty-second floor

[00:00:36] He is separate from all others no one knocks upon his door

[00:00:42] And it might as well be raining 'cause the sunlight hurts his eyes

[00:00:48] And his ears will never hear the children's cries

[00:00:54] Once proud and full of passion he fought the cause of man

[00:00:59] Many people loved his courage many followed his command

[00:01:05] He changed the old into the new and the course of things to come

[00:01:11] And then one day they noticed he was gone

[00:01:16] At first it didn't matter nobody seemed to care

[00:01:22] They all became too busy to find him anywhere

[00:01:28] But no one knew not even him the problems he would find

[00:01:33] On the day he journeyed deep into his mind

[00:01:40] I close my eyes I go far away

[00:01:43] Away from this battlefield

[00:01:46] In my dreams well

[00:01:49] Here I will enjoy it

[00:01:51] Where innocence plays with all

[00:01:54] The laughing children

[00:01:58] The kind who are crying right now

[00:02:03] A taste of freedom from the pain

[00:02:06] Of everything here I see

[00:02:10] Life is sweet but I took it all for granted

[00:02:15] And now I don't know if I could even tell you

[00:02:22] Just what we permit we allow

[00:02:28] Allow me to forget the life I've made my own

[00:02:33] I've held this nation in my hand and yet it's not my home

[00:02:39] Oh allow me just one answer and one reason why

[00:02:44] Why this refugee of the family of man must die

[00:02:50] Tell me why

[00:05:09] Daydreams filled his nighttimes and night-dreams filled his days

[00:05:15] Confusion and uncertainty a puzzled mind of haze

[00:05:21] You thought he was so powerful and set upon his ways

[00:05:26] Well he left us all to follow through this maze

[00:05:32] I heard the king was dying I heard the king was dead

[00:05:38] And with him died the chronicles that no one ever read

[00:05:44] The closet's fully empty now it's occupied by none

[00:05:50] I'll draw the drapes now destiny is done
