Paul Colman Trio - Banquet Table lyrics

rate me

part 1)

Welcome my friends to the banquet table

All of my friends please gather round

So I took a look around to see who he invited here tonight

And I noticed she was one of those who sold her body to the night

And I saw the banquet host rise and hold this woman close

And I felt my anger burn how was she invited here tonight?

Notice me here (notice me here) at the banquet table

In my rightful place (in my rightful place)

This is my time (here I am)

And I saw a little man climbing on his chair so he was heard

And I noticed he was one who'd rob you blind for all that you were worth

And I saw the banquet host rise and fill his empty glass

Is there a single shred of justice at this table here tonight?

(part 3)

Welcome to the banquet table

All my friends, won't you please gather 'round

You've been invited to the banqueting table

So look around (repeat)

Welcome to the banquet table

All my friends, won't you please gather 'round

He said you're welcome at my banquet table

You're my friends if you've got love inside you're heart

No one's righteous no one's better

So take a look inside

Take a look inside

I took a look inside

And suddenly I felt my eyes pouring tears on me of liberty

And I realized I was one who needed love and setting free

My brother here my sister there

And the banquet host his empty chair

Forgiveness came and sweet relief

And then I saw why he invited me tonight

Please forgive me

Please forgive me
