Cântăre What would you do for a king?

What would you do for a king

If He won all the battles He went out to fight

And returned as a hero on a starlit night to a cheering crowd?

Would it make you proud?



What would you do for a king

If He kept every promise that He'd ever made

Would you get out the tickertape and lead a parade, a society ball?

Would you care at all?



Kings always seemed to me as such grand, imposing men

So full of stature, full of power

So much authority in every word they say

I never thought I was quite the type

But Iíd still love to meet one someday



What would you do for a king

If He came to your door, would you ask Him in

Would you tell Him how much you admired Him

Do you think you'd dare

Would you be too scared?

Most kings don't seem to know much about the common man

So far removed and set apart

I cheer with thousands, we blend into a roar

Another face in an endless crowd

Is that all I really am, just one more?



So what would you do for a king

If He saw you fishing out by the sea

And He walked up to you and said "Follow me - it's time you know"

Do you think you'd go?



And what would you do for a king

If He took off his crown and agreed to die

And as you tried to understand it, He looked you in the eye and said,

"This is for you"



Well, what would you do?
