Here's a little story and it goes like this
Jesus betrayed by Judas' kiss
Jesus needs him don't you see
In the midnight garden of a--gony
the midnight garden of a--gony
He says there's a job I gotta do
And I'm gonna need a little help from you
If I'm gonna free this world from sin
Somebody gonna have to turn me in
Somebody gonna have to turn me in
Father forgive me I never knew
I never saw that comin, no I never do
I bow my head and I say your name
I'm just a pawn in a bigger game
I'm just a pawn in a bigger game
Well I had me some friends with a big old band
They were lookin for a fiddler and his hand
They had all the girls and the cocaine too
Got out my rig and showed'em all I knew
Took out my fiddle played all I knew
Never got that gig even though I tried
Well it's just as well, I might have died
Things aren't always what they seem
When you walk in a fog and you live in a dream
You walk in a fog and you live in a dream, that's me
Father forgive me I never knew
I never saw that comin, no I never do
I'm gonna bow my head and say your name
Just a pawn in a bigger game
I'm just a pawn in a bigger game
Little bee buzzin around a flower
Has no idea it's his finest hour
Has no idea about the greater scheme
He's just suckin up nectar for the queen
Suckin up nectar for the queen
And that first time you spoke to me
I couldn't know how big our love could be
Who knew how far love could go
Where it ends we'll never know
Where it ends we'll never know
Father forgive me I never knew
I never saw that comin, no I never do
I'm gonna bow my head and say your name
Just a pawn in a bigger game
I'm just a pawn in a bigger game
