When Love Was King(Live At The Royal Albert Hall / 02 April 2018) - Gregory Porter

作词：Gregory Porter

作曲：Gregory Porter

Once was a kingdom far far away

Love was the rule of the day

Nothing more nothing less

Than 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 ohhh

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 rescued souls

That were lost in the sea

In drifting vessels he would hear their plea

He threw a line

Before they'd sink

And gave the thirsty ones a drink

When love was king

He told the meek

That they should try

To use the sword

To smite the lie

The line that being kind is for the weak

I pray the Lord

These words we seek

Ohhhh

When love was king

He showed respect for every man

Regardless

Of his skin and clan

And beside him

Stood his mighty queen

And equal force

Wise and keen

He lifted up

The people that were on the underneath

And all his wealth he did bequeath

To those who toiled

Without a gain

So they would remember his reign

Ohh

So seek someplace

To call your own

Right this time

This mighty shinning throne

When love was king

Ohoooo

Do you remember

Do you remember

When love was king
