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 I'd 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?
