Esther

I was inspired by the school's local play they did for their week of worship. The topic was Esther and each day a 20 minute drama on the story was played out, in a very moving way.

I then realised it needed a song. And so I spent time creating this song. It is the first song I have made with a male and female singer, surprising no parts are a duet. Working with an AI program is challenging enough, but when you introduce two singers, it gets very frustrating, however I love the song and I hope you do as well.

I tried to imagine what Esther would have been feeling when Mordecai challenged her to intercede for her people in the face of death.

Lyrics

"Esther" by KunzyPoet

[Verse 1]

Why are you here Mordecai?

I see your grief

I hear your cries

What is happening?

This law decrees

Our people's death

Unless you plead, to the king

On our behalf

[VERSE 2]

Why is this so?

When life's so well

Leave me alone

I like being queen

I like being seen

As the beauty of the land

I don't understand

don't make me go

I don't want to die

To see the king,

Uninvited

will end my mortal life

[PRE-CHORUS]

If you refuse

God will still save

Our people's race, but it can be you

Maybe this is your fate

[CHORUS]

God, why me?

Can't you see

I'm just a girl

Who shouldn't be

In this world of royalty

Esther you're queen

And you're God's child

He'll give courage

So you can say

I will follow God

Come what may

[VERSE 3]

I don't understand

why Hayman wants

Our people dead

And now I dread

You're forcing me

To make a stand

Esther I care

I know you're scared

Please be brave

You need to pray

For maybe you were made

for such a time as this

[CHORUS]

God, why me?

Can't you see

I'm just a girl

Who shouldn't be

In this world of royalty

Esther you're queen

And you're God's child

He'll give courage

So you can say

I will follow God

Come what may

[BRIDGE]

Is this why I'm here?

Is this the reason

I am a queen

And I'll be pleading

To my king

But will he listen?

Or will I die?

We have to try

And save our people

[CHORUS]

God, why me?

Can't you see

I'm just a girl

Who shouldn't be

In this world of royalty

Esther you're queen

And you're God's child

He'll give courage

So you can say

I will follow God

Come what may

[POST CHORUS]

For maybe I was made

for such a time as this
