Every Crown Has Its Thorns

We're both like Simon we still live in a state of denial
Although we'd both like to go to heaven
We feel surprised about the trial
But the suff'ring christ did accomplished somethin' and the worst all turned out right
Go and find out in Hebrews chapter 5 verses 7 through 9

You see every crown has its thorn
Just like every life has its cross
Just like every choirboy sings some sad, sad songs
Every crown has its thorns, it does

A Christian needs to take his cross, take it up and hit the road
Yeah, 'cause Jesus said lots of times that we should do it and he should know
But I wonder as he walked,if he ever felt like quittin'
Yet I know we wouldn't be here right now, if Christ took a different road than calvary

You see every crown has its thorn
Just like every life has its cross
Just like every choirboy sings some sad, sad songs
Every crown has its thorns, it does

Though I'm on trial now Christ can still feel all my pain
Like the nails that cut through and bruised him, 'cause the scars, Christ's scars remain

I know if he could have saved his life that night if Christ chose to run away
Instead of takin' off, He chose to take the narrow way
And now I'm in heaven bound and born anew, and man I never had that much to lose
I'm here to bear my cross in life and to see him on the other side, because..

You see every crown has its thorn
Just like every life has its cross
Just like every choirboy sings some sad, sad songs
Every crown has its thorns, it does
