If I was a king for a day I would take all this hurt away And restore our faith in each other again I'd make a decree that wouldn't party Giving back what was lost I'd change the world at any cost If I was a king Mindless choices have the loudest voice We save the birds and trees but for ourself we give no choice Corrupted politicians making laws for the led They keep us on the ground and we don't understand If I was a king for a day I would take all this hurt away And restore our faith in each other again I'd make a decree that wouldn't party Giving back what was lost I'd change the world at any cost If I was a king for a day I would take all this hurt away And restore our faith in each other again I'd make a decree that wouldn't party Giving back what was lost I'd change the world at any cost If I was a king All this hatred gotta go We got to do better All this segregation gotta go To make this world better We gotta stop all this killing We got to do better If we wanna change this world around To make this world better If I was a king for a day I would take all this hurt away And restore our faith in each other again I'd make a decree that wouldn't party Giving back what was lost I'd change the world at any cost If I was a king for a day I would take all this hurt away And restore our faith in each other again I'd make a decree that wouldn't party Giving back what was lost I'd change the world at any cost If I was a king If I was a king
