When Love Was King

Once was a kingdom, far far away.

Love was the rule of the day.

Nothing more nothing less

Than to give your friend your best.

There's much more story that I could tell

To make the hardest hearts swell.

This is the story when love was king.

When love was king, do you remember?

When love was king, when love was king

I remember when love was king

He ruled the land, with his fist unfurled

With open arms for the world

Of hungry children, first he'd think

To pull their lives from the brink

When love was king

He rescued souls lost in the sea

In drifting vessel he would hear their plea

When love was king

He threw a line before they'd sink

And gave the thirsty ones a drink

He told the meek that they should try

To use the sword to smite the lie

That being king is for the weak

When love was king

I pray the lord these words we seek

When love was king

He showed respect for every man

Regardless of their skin or clan

Beside him stood his mighty queen

and equal force wise and keen

He lifted up the underneath

And all his wealth he did bequeath

To those who toiled with out a gain

SO they would remember his reign

So seek someplace to call your own

Right next to this mighty shinning throne

When love was king

When love was king
