[Verse 1]
Demon man put your heel on my neck
Preachin' to me, I'm not worthy of amnesty
No testimony to my final fate
Unlike you I'm not drunk on my reverie

[Chorus]
I will build a kingdom from my remnants
I will build a kingdom from my remnants
I'm nobody's leftovers
You will not use me up
Done drained my blood bone dry
Still will not use me up
My flesh to ashes burned
Take to the wind like dust
When will you ever learn
You will not use me up
And I will build a kingdom from my remnants
From my remnants

[Verse 2]
See it now, sure as the sun will rise
I won't hide my eyes from its majesty
With my war worn heart
With my battered hands
From a single thread I'll weave my tapestry
And I know the love will resurrect me

[Extended Chorus]
Oh I will build a kingdom from my remnants
I will build a kingdom from my remnants
I'm nobody's leftovers
You will not use me up
Done drained my blood bone dry
Still will not use me up
My flesh to ashes burned
Take to the wind like dust
When will you ever learn
You will not use me up
I will build a kingdom from my remnants
I will build a kingdom from my remnants
I'm nobody's leftovers
You will not use me up
Done drained my blood bone dry
Still will not use me up
My flesh to ashes burned
Take to the wind like dust
When will you ever ever ever ever learn
I will build a kingdom from my remnants
From my remnants, from my remnants
Yeah, from my remnants, from my, from my, remnants

LeAnn Rimes

Margaret LeAnn Rimes Cibrian (August 28, 1982) is a country singer who uses the stage name LeAnn Rimes. Born in Jackson, Mississippi she started performing at age 7 and had become a country star by age 13. Known for her vocals, many say she sounds a lot like Patsy Cline.

Rimes is a two-time Grammy winner and remains active in music. She’s gone through some troubles in the past few years, perhaps the result of such a young start in the business of music.
