There once was a kingdom far far away
Where love was the rule of the day
Nothing more, nothing less
Then 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
I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake
When love was king
He’d rescued souls lost in the sea
In drifting vessels, 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 kind 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 and clan
Beside him stood his mighty queen
An equal force, wise and keen
He lifted up the underneath
And all his wealth he did bequeath
To those who toiled without a gain
So they would remember his reign
So seek some place to call your own
Right next to this mighty shining throne
When Love was king
When Love was king
When Love Was King
