If You Want To Be King

I drew my sword against the world
out on my own to fight
these castle walls can't pin me
I had to see the light

I was a fool for all to take
and I believed them all
but no one warned me of the pain
they left me here to fall

I'm coming home
drew it from a stone
it's a peculiar thing
if you want to be king

You took my love, tore it up
you turned my heart to stone
you took my sword, broke it up
you left me here alone

I found the world much larger
than I could conceive
a thousand tales of mystery
why should I not believe

I'm coming home
drew it from a stone
it's a peculiar thing
if you want to be king

You took my love, tore it up
you turned my heart to stone
you took my sword, broke it up
you left me here alone

I think that you have done me wrong
you would not let me sing
I will do what I want and I
want to be king

(N. deJong/R. deJong) (4:39)
