Story behind the song
Written for our Awana Program, for crazy hair night. I can think of few passages in the bible that had more to do with hair than this story about Absalom. And this Prince's besetting sin was Pride. Such a waste. For anyone who has beauty, or power, this is a warning and an encouragement to avoid Pride. It is not a friend.
Lyrics
Absalom’s Hair Absalom’s hair was the talk of the town And it spilled on the floor when he stood or sat down And the girls, all sighed When the prince sauntered by While his magic hair followed behind, yes His magic hair followed behind. There wasn’t a flaw on his beautiful skin From his heels to his toes, from his back to his chin He was flawless by far Not a pimple or scar Found a place on the prince’s fair skin No, not a mark on the prince’s fair skin But the prince HAD a flaw, and that flaw was his pride And it whispered applause every day by his side And it trailed everywhere like his beautiful hair Though only God saw it there, yes, Only God saw it there Chorus: But Pride is an Enemy dressed like a Friend That promises power, but turns in the end It will bring your destruction, your rapid downfall Don’t follow its sweet siren’s call Don’t follow its sweet siren’s call Amnon his brother, the heir to the throne Took their sweet sister Tamar to have for his own And he forced her to do something wicked and wrong And Absalom killed him ere long Yes, Absalom killed him ere long. Chorus: Absalom plotted to kill the old king Though the man was his father, no sorrow didst bring And when sad David fled, and the Prince held sway, He was practically King for a Day’. Hey! He was practically King for a day. Chorus: Absalom army was fast overthrown And he fled on a horse through the forest alone But his hair caught a tree as he rode on by And he hung there, waiting there waiting to die, yes He hung there, waiting to die. Chorus:
