When Love Was King Lyrics - Liquid Spirit - Gregory Porter

There once was a kingdom far far away 

Where love was the rule of the day 

Nothing more, nothing less 

Then to give your friend your best 

There's much more story that I could tell 

To make the hardest hearts swell 

This is the story 

When love was king 

When love was king 

Do you remember when love was king 

When love was king 

I remember when love was king

9 Misheard Christmas Carol Lyrics 

He ruled the land 

With his fist unfurled 

With open arms for the world 

Of hungry children, first he'd think 

To pull their lives from the brink 

I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake 

When love was king 

He'd rescued souls lost in the sea 

In drifting vessels, he would hear their plea 

When love was king 

He threw a line before they'd sink 

And gave the thirsty ones a drink 

He told the meek that they should try 

To use the sword to smite the lie 

That being kind is for the weak 

When love was king 

I pray the Lord these words we seek

When love was king 

He showed respect for every man 

Regardless of their skin and clan 

Beside him stood his mighty queen 

An equal force, wise and keen 

He lifted up the underneath 

And all his wealth he did bequeath 

To those who toiled without a gain 

So they would remember his reign 

So seek some place to call your own 

Right next to this mighty shining throne 

When Love was king
