Alonzo Lyrics
He was king around the bay
He'd come sporting and flashing
Hearts would drift away
Came upon the scene where the
Lamb and lion play
How could he start to school her
Or rule her with feet of sand and clay
"Reach to heaven-for heaven"
Alonzo declared that he must
"Reach to heaven-for heaven"
"Reach to heaven-for heaven"
Alonzo declared that he must
"Reach to heaven-for heaven"
"Reach to heaven-for heaven"
Alonzo declared that he must
"Reach to heaven-for heaven"
Came upon the scene where the
Lamb and lion play
How could he start to school her
Or rule her with feet of sand and clay
"Reach to heaven-for heaven"
Alonzo declared that he must
"Reach to heaven-for heaven"
"Reach to heaven-for heaven"
Alonzo declared that he must
"Reach to heaven-for heaven"
"Reach to heaven-for heaven"
Alonzo declared that he must
"Reach to heaven-for heaven"
Out his hand one day
Don't you know Alonzo
Lifted up his head to pray
So good for you, my dear Alonzo
So good for you, my dear Alonzo
So good for you, my dear Alonzo
So warm the sun
Warm your soul
So good to see you
Welcome, Alonzo
From the perspective of reading the lyrics, Alonzo to is a story about a human, being male or female... (stay with me) that is attracted to someone that’s out of his or her league and it’s a beautiful scene. How could this person “He’d come sporting and flashing hearts would drift away...” He or she would make advances but they were never taken seriously because his/her character is flawed. The key lyric is “How could he rule her with feet of sand and clay...” This person is empty, unsure of him or herself, possibly a fraud or a fake but has turned a corner. Dream came upon a scene... He or she found what they were looking for so the gamble was to go for it. “Alonzo declared that he must reach for heaven, for heaven!” He/She has to step out in FAITH! He/She has to open up their heart and “Become”
Welcome Alonzo.
Al Jarreau was part of a musical duo I think..a guitarist and Al..I think this song is based on his flashy musical partner as they busked by the Bay..how could he give proper lessons on life when he is only a man made of clay?..if you become divine seeking heaven you accept that authority imparted onto you..
