Standing at the gate of Egypt Watching the waves at the sea Camped at the foot of the money Waiting for milk and money I know you are wondering What war will end the rain When will the world spin my way How much longer till the end of time I know you are wondering What do I ask of Moses What can earth offer heaven What can a pawn give to the king of kings? I don't need your diamonds I don't need your gold I don't need your fancy dreams I don't need your stories told All I need a penny of your love One penny of fire One penny of simple faith All I need is the penny of redemption Standing at the gate of my city Canopys are blowing in the wind A thousand trumpets stand together Open for the dancing to begin I know it'll happen You'll be coming through the flame Coming from the ashes of a good time Coming to praise my name I know it'll happen For somewhere in your heart A child is holding a penny The penny of redemption I don't need your queens I don't need your aces I don't need your tears at night I don't need your painted faces All I need is one penny of your love One penny of fire One penny of simple faith All I need is the penny of redemption
