When Love Was King

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, oh, 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'd rescued souls that were 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 I pray the Lord these words we seek, oh oh oh 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 could remember his reign, oh oh So seek some place to call your own Right the side this mighty shining throne When love was king, oh oh oh oh oh Do you remember Do you remember When love was king?
