My thirst for the things of this earth Isnt quenched by diamonds or pearls One Man lived the life that I want Hes 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
