My thirst for the things of this earth   Isn’t quenched by diamonds or pearls   One Man lived the life that I want   He’s the One they said ruled the world      Though He only wore a crown of thorns   And He never owned a thing      Chorus   I want to live like a King   I want to live like a King   And my decree it will ring   "Love will rule everything"   I want to live like a King      This King did the strangest of things   He befriended the sick and the poor   There was no one too wrong, too right, too black, too white for Him to   love   He built no walls, left no unopened doors   Well, now I could croon a million other tunes   There is just one I want to sing      Chorus      I want to be stronger, I want to be wiser   I just want to make every move be the one He’d want to see from me   There’s just such power, such healing power   In every word that He said, in every deed that He did      Chorus
