Esther called me today she's a bonafide star
Said I spoke to a friend who wants to know how you are
With a shake in her voice she said "I'm doing OK"
With a shake in her voice she said "I can't live this way"
She doesn't know why
She wants to laugh but still she cries
Still she cries
Spoke to Esther today she said it's hard to play queen
Though she fought it at first this pain's become her routine
And she wants to believe but the image won't play
And she wants to be loved but that's a long time away
Kingdoms collide
As she tries to rule the world inside
She starts to cry
Take that crown off my queen Esther
It's too much for anyone to bear
Don't hide your face queen Esther
My king says He'll meet you anywhere
He says it's OK He knows your pain
He says it's OK He'll show you the way
He'll take your pain
He'll show you the way
Esther called me today she's a bonafide star
Said I spoke to a friend who wants to know how you are.
