My thirst for the things of this earth

Isn't quenched by diamonds or pearls.

One Man lived the life that I want

He's the One they said ruled the world.


Though He only wore a crown of thorns

And He never owned a thing.


Chorus


I want to live like a King.

I want to live like a King.

And my decree it will ring

"Love will rule everything".

I want to live like a King.


This King did the strangest of things;

He befriended the sick and the poor.

There was no one too wrong, too right, 

Too black, too white for Him to love.

He built no walls, left no unopened doors.

Well, now I could croon a million other tunes

There is just one I want to sing.


Chorus


I want to be stronger, I want to be wiser

I just want to make every move be the one He'd want to see from me

There's just such power, such healing power

In every word that He said, in every deed that He did.


Chorus
