"Solomon's Song"
lyrics by Benjamin Newman

This song must be a love song
Because it's all about sex
'Bout the entwining of bodies
About like you would expect
About the scent of his perfume
About the shape of her eyes
It's so bawdy and naked
If you heard it was sacred
You'd be pretty surprised

This song must be a love song
Because it's all about God
When people say that it's sexy
We just smile and nod
It's about our long journey
Our redemption by love
It's not anything earthy,
'Cause that wouldn't be worthy
It's about what's above

	We sing Solomon's Song
	But do we know what it means?
	Is it just what they tell us?
	Or is it just what it seems?
	Or does it tie them together?
	And were they ever apart?
	It's the song of a yearning
	All-consuming and burning
	It's the song of the heart

This song's lyrics are ancient
But they never get old
If today's songs are plastic
This one's silver and gold
And whether love is just hormones
Or it's something divine
Through all the learning and teaching
All the yearning and reaching
Kisses sweeter than wine

	We sing Solomon's Song...

In the rhythm of worship
In the touch of a hand
There's a power to change us
That we don't quite understand
And if it's sexy and holy
Why should that be so odd?
Love's being one with another
Between you and your lover
Between people and God

	We sing Solomon's Song
	And we trust what we feel
	It's about love and worship
	It's about something real
	And there's no contradiction
	And nobody is wrong
	'Cause the base and the blessed
	Are embraced and caressed
	Within Solomon's Song
