What Would You Do for a King?
What would you do for a kingIf He won all the battles He went out to fightAnd returned as a hero on a starlit night to a cheering crowd?Would it make you proud?What would you do for a kingIf He kept every promise that He'd ever madeWould 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 menSo full of stature, full of powerSo much authority in every word they sayI never thought I was quite the typeBut Iíd still love to meet one somedayWhat would you do for a kingIf He came to your door, would you ask Him inWould you tell Him how much you admired HimDo you think you'd dareWould you be too scared?Most kings don't seem to know much about the common manSo far removed and set apartI cheer with thousands, we blend into a roarAnother face in an endless crowdIs that all I really am, just one more?SongtexteSo what would you do for a kingIf He saw you fishing out by the seaAnd 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 kingIf He took off his crown and agreed to dieAnd as you tried to understand it, He looked you in the eye and said,"This is for you"Well, what would you do?
