Lean not on your own understanding
But lay your burdens down
Lean not on the gates of Graceland
That dream's buried in the ground

Lean not on any person
But stand up straight and strong
And keep your feet upon the path
Discerning right from wrong

They wept when Elvis breathed his last
Down on the bathroom floor
Year after year they shed a tear
And love him even more

They lay their flowers on his grave
And suffer at his loss
But those who worship idols
Don't comprehend the cross

Elvis you've left the building
But God is in the house
I wonder what you said
With your last breath

Your girlfriend says you cried out
God help me, help me God
When comes the resurrection
Will you waken from your death

Not worried 'bout your money
Not bothered by your drugs
You dressed like Liberace
And your boys they dressed like thugs

I don't care about the women
You were an outlaw on the run
But at the end were you man enough
To repent from all you'd done

Yeah-eh-eh

Elvis I know where you are
You're sleeping in the ground
Will you rise and stand up
When the son of man comes down

You sang a lot of gospel songs
And you knew about the light
I hope you reached out at the end
And this time held on tight

Elvis you've left the building
But God is in the house
I wonder what you said
With your last breath

Your girlfriend says you cried out
God help me, help me God
When comes the resurrection
Will you waken from your death

Some sign up at the eleventh hour
Some work right from the start
God knows how trapped we can become
In the darkness of the heart

That's why he gave us Jesus
To die upon that tree
For those of us so snared by sin
Might some day be set free

Elvis you've left the building
But God's still in the house
I wonder what you said
With your last breath

Your girlfriend says you cried out
God help me, help me God
When comes the resurrection
Will you waken from your death

Elvis you've left the building
But God's still in the house
I wonder what you said
With your last breath

Your girlfriend says you cried out
God help me, help me God
When comes the resurrection
Will you waken from your death

Thank you, thank you very much [Impersonating Elvis]
