Song West[Intro]
[Verse 1]
In a kingdom of gold, where the laws were unkind,
A queen lost her crown, and the stars realigned.
From the shadows she rose, a girl veiled in grace,
Esther’s secret her b***d, yet she stood in that place.
[Chorus]
Oh, Esther, Esther, courage wrapped in lace,
You risked every breath to plead for your race.
A crown on your brow, but a prayer in your soul,
You turned the tide when the dice lost control.
[Verse 2]
Haman’s wrath burned like fire, his decree sealed with lies,
But Mordecai’s tears echoed under Persian skies.
“Who knows if you’re here for a time such as this?”
Three days without water, she clenched her fists.
[Chorus]
Oh, Esther, Esther, courage wrapped in lace,
You stepped through the fear to stand in death’s face.
A feast for the king, but the truth cut the air,
“Let my people go free from the snare.”
[Bridge]
The scepter stretched golden, her voice trembling strong,
“If I perish, I perish—this justice is wrong.”
The gallows held darkness, but light broke the chain,
And the Jews sang her name through the Pourim refrain.
[Outro]
[Verse 3]
From Susa’s high halls to the scrolls we retell,
Her bravery carved where the wicked ones fell.
A queen not by chance, but by heaven’s own hand,
Esther’s story lives on in the Promised Land.
[Chorus]
Oh, Esther, Esther, courage wrapped in lace,
Your legacy lingers in mercy and grace.
The dice lost their power, the tables were turned,
And the fire of her faith still burns, burns, burns.
[Outro]
