Lars Eriksson If I Were King Today lyrics

If I was king today
I would stray away
With money in my pockets, singing my song
I would search for the land
That once fell out of my hand
A long time ago when I was a child
I would ask people: Do you know of this land,
Or do you know of someone who has re-conquered it?

Early mornings
Or sunset evenings
I think I see a glimpse of what I'm searching
We're not finished here
This will all disappear
Like a memory from a past life, it will not be here
Many people will say
They've found the only way
But they're not individuals, they are sheep
And I don't search for fools
They can go to their own schools
I think I'll drink some coffee in the sun instead


And they have not found truth
Truth is nowhere to be found
And it doesn't cost a dime, it's very cheap
All you need is yourself
And of course everything else
Give the one who speaks the truth a horse
To me it seems that death
Is just a thing with your last breath
And that life goes on and on and on and on
If you're looking for answers
All you will get is doubt
The only thing worthwhile is learning to live, and forgive
And I am king today
Every day I stray away
With money in pockets,
singing my song
