Who do people say I am?
Elijah, Jeremiah, John the Baptist come again
And who do you say I am?
The son of the God of Abraham

I can see you believe in me
It's time for the truth so listen carefully
Take all you've learned and turn it around
I'm the King of Upside Down.

My courtiers are beggars and thieves
You won't find a scribe or a pharisee
Just a vagabond and his holy clowns
I'm the King of Upside Down.

First is last and last is first
Greatest is the one who serves
If you would be truly wise
You must be like a little child
Lend to those who can't repay
Lose your life your soul to save
Love is for your enemies
Take my yoke and you'll be free.

I must suffer many things
Even unto death's dark sting
Don't despair, I'll turn it around
I'm the King of Upside Down.
