about

The result of a daydream, "What would I do if I were king?" It turns out that I'm very happy with my - my family makes me feel like a king. I'm grateful.

lyrics

10. IF I WERE KING
If I were King, trains would mostly run on time
And nobody would mind
Rush hour drivers would be kind
Waiting patiently in line
Dreaming of the ties that bind, if I were King

If I were King, kids would play and sing their songs
And they’d mostly get along
They would bring their dads to school
To explain the molecule,
Then they’d teach the Golden Rule, if I were King
If I were King, Sunday breakfast would be free
‘Cause they’d pass the bill to me
All the horses would run wild
But they’d race the quarter mile
For some apples, oats, and smiles, if I were King

Hearts would rarely ever break
Dreams would be in reach
Hope could always be proclaimed
And none need ever be ashamed

If I were King, grateful prayers would end most days
And we’d start the next with praise
All the grandmas would be kissed
And the grandpas would be missed
Moms and Dads would live in bliss, if I were King
