when we were kings

in every heart

there is a drum that beats

steady and strong

it does not know defeat

i feel it pound

and know the sound

of true beliefs

in every soul

there is a memory

of standing tall

the proudest we could be

i cannot fall

for i recall

we were born in majesty

and when the long fight

has been fought and won

we'll stand in the sun

and we will raise out hands

and we will touch the sky

together we will dance in robes of gold

and we will leave the world remembering

when we were kings

when we were kings

now is the time

here is the mountain top

when one man climbs

the rest are lifted up

with every step we're closer yet

to a higher destiny

and when we reach out to claim the thrown

every man will know

do you remember

when we were kings

float like a butterfly

sting like a bee

float like a butterfly

sting like a bee

and when the long fight

has been fought and won

we'll stand in the sun
