King of Hearts




Long live the king of hearts
I bow lowly to you
Man who tossed his gold in the water
To save the slave, a common stranger


There he rides through the village
I swear my allegiance to you
For the warm bread you gave to my daughter
And the hand-sewn quilt in winter


(Violin)


His Majesty sits upon worn stools
With folk who drink their sorrows
And there he transforms wood into ruby
And fills my pitcher with rich barley


When battle calls, see him stand
I draw my sword for you
He who unites kingdoms with honor
Compassion for all lifts his banner


(Violin)

Long live the king of hearts
I bow lowly to you
For your name I fight in glory
And pray they tell our stories
