Can I tempt?
Can I tease?
Can I bring you to your knees?
I never knew I had a power
then I heard the beggar plead
He needed more, he begged to give
He needed more of me to live
I did laugh
I did cry
and to his horror, I denied
I never knew I had a power
then I saw the beggar die
I needed more, I begged to give
I needed more of them to live
I did tempt
I did tease
and I tried my best to please
I disbelieved I had a power
And so delusion ruled with ease
I faded in, I faded out,
I turned to faith from foolish doubt
I did laugh
I did cry
in compassion I now abide
I believe I have a power
and with love I purify
