When Love Was King - Gregory Porter[00:00:01]
Once was a kingdom far far away [00:00:10]
Love was the rule of the day [00:00:16]
Nothing more nothing less[00:00:21]
Than to give your friend your best [00:00:26]
There's much more story that I could tell[00:00:34]
To make the hardest hearts swell [00:00:41]
This is the story when love was king [00:00:49]
When love was king do you remember [00:01:10]
When love was king when love was king[00:01:20]
I remember when love was king[00:01:37]
He ruled the land with his fist unfurled[00:01:52]
With open arms for the world[00:02:04]
Of hungry children first he'd think[00:02:14]
To pull their lives from the brink[00:02:25]
When love was king[00:02:34]
He rescued souls lost in the sea[00:02:38]
In drifting vessel he would hear their plea[00:02:48]
When love was king[00:02:56]
He threw a line before they'd sink[00:03:01]
And gave the thirsty ones a drink[00:03:10]
He told the meek that they should try[00:03:23]
To use the sword to smite the lie[00:03:32]
That being king is for the weak[00:03:44]
When love was king[00:03:54]
I pray the lord these words we seek[00:03:57]
When love was king[00:04:27]
He showed respect for every man[00:04:32]
Regardless of their skin or clan[00:04:42]
Beside him stood his mighty queen[00:04:54]
And equal force wise and keen[00:05:05]
He lifted up the underneath[00:05:17]
And all his wealth he did bequeath[00:05:27]
To those who toiled with out a gain[00:05:38]
SO they would remember his reign[00:05:51]
So seek someplace to call your own[00:06:00]
Right next to this mighty shinning throne[00:06:13]
When love was king[00:06:24]
When love was king[00:06:31]
