[00:10.53] Once was a kingdom, far far away.
[00:16.06] Love was the rule of the day.
[00:21.73] Nothing more nothing less
[00:26.70] Than to give your friend your best.
[00:34.45] There's much more story that I could tell
[00:41.50] To make the hardest hearts swell.
[00:49.07] This is the story when love was king.
[01:10.23] When love was king, do you remember?
[01:20.58] When love was king, when love was king
[01:37.44] I remember when love was king
[01:48.71]
[01:52.88] He ruled the land, with his fist unfurled
[02:04.49] With open arms for the world
[02:14.67] Of hungry children, first he'd think
[02:25.21] To pull their lives from the brink
[02:31.85]
[02:34.32] When love was king
[02:38.43] He rescued souls lost in the sea
[02:48.63] In drifting vessel he would hear their plea
[02:56.77] When love was king
[03:01.01] He threw a line before they'd sink
[03:10.20] And gave the thirsty ones a drink
[03:23.16] He told the meek that they should try
[03:33.00] To use the sword to smite the lie
[03:44.66] That being king is for the weak
[03:50.57]
[03:54.08] When love was king
[03:57.09] I pray the lord these words we seek
[04:03.74]
[04:27.81] When love was king
[04:32.27] He showed respect for every man
[04:42.15] Regardless of their skin or clan
[04:54.16] Beside him stood his mighty queen
[05:05.58] and equal force wise and keen
[05:16.02]
[05:17.19] He lifted up the underneath
[05:27.02] And all his wealth he did bequeath
[05:33.50]
[05:38.40] To those who toiled with out a gain
[05:51.39] SO they would remember his reign
[06:00.74] So seek someplace to call your own
[06:13.05] Right next to this mighty shinning throne
[06:24.89] When love was king
[06:31.36] When love was king
[06:39.64]
