Across the great divide, in a land of long ago
A man can fight to survive, and know from friend or foe
Turn the pages back, and look into my eyes

Tell me what you see is a bridge of burnin' lies
I want you to run to me, lay by my side
I need you to lie for me, live for my life

Let the peasant know, you won't take anymore
They can't get away this time, you're lyin' down the law
I want to cry for me, pray for my soul

I need you to die for me, bleed for us all
Don't you know, I wanna be a king
Don't you know, I wanna be a king

Don't you know, I wanna be a king
Don't you know, I wanna be a king
(Solo)

Run to me, lay on me, heal by my side
Breathe for me, lie for me, live for my life
Turn to me, cry for me, pray for my soul

Fight for me, die for me, bleed for us all
Don't you know, I wanna be a king
Don't you know, I wanna be a king

Don't you know, I wanna be a king
Don't you know, I wanna be a king
