《When Love Was King》歌词

[00:00:01] When Love Was King - Gregory Porter

[00:00:10] Once was a kingdom far far away

[00:00:16] Love was the rule of the day

[00:00:21] Nothing more nothing less

[00:00:26] Than to give your friend your best

[00:00:34] There's much more story that I could tell

[00:00:41] To make the hardest hearts swell

[00:00:49] This is the story when love was king

[00:01:10] When love was king do you remember

[00:01:20] When love was king when love was king

[00:01:37] I remember when love was king

[00:01:52] He ruled the land with his fist unfurled

[00:02:04] With open arms for the world

[00:02:14] Of hungry children first he'd think

[00:02:25] To pull their lives from the brink

[00:02:34] When love was king

[00:02:38] He rescued souls lost in the sea

[00:02:48] In drifting vessel he would hear their plea

[00:02:56] When love was king

[00:03:01] He threw a line before they'd sink

[00:03:10] And gave the thirsty ones a drink

[00:03:23] He told the meek that they should try

[00:03:32] To use the sword to smite the lie

[00:03:44] That being king is for the weak

[00:03:54] When love was king

[00:03:57] I pray the lord these words we seek

[00:04:27] When love was king

[00:04:32] He showed respect for every man

[00:04:42] Regardless of their skin or clan

[00:04:54] Beside him stood his mighty queen

[00:05:05] And equal force wise and keen

[00:05:17] He lifted up the underneath

[00:05:27] And all his wealth he did bequeath

[00:05:38] To those who toiled with out a gain

[00:05:51] SO they would remember his reign

[00:06:00] So seek someplace to call your own

[00:06:13] Right next to this mighty shinning throne

[00:06:24] When love was king

[00:06:31] When love was king
