When We Were Kings Songtext
von Daryl Braithwaite

In every heart, there is a drum that beats
Steady and strong, it does not know defeat
I feel it pound, and know the sound
Of true beliefs

In every soul, there is a memory
Of standing tall, the proudest we could be
I cannot fall, for I recall
We were born in majesty
And when the long night has been fought and won
We′ll stand in the sun
And we will raise our hands
And we will touch the sky
Together we will dance in robes of gold
And we will leave the world remembering
When we were kings
When we were kings


Now is the time, here is the mountain top
When one man climbs, the rest are lifted up
With every step we're closer yet to a higher destiny
And when we reach out to claim the thrown
Every man will know
And we will raise our hands
And we will touch the sky
Together we will dance in robes of gold
And we will leave the world remembering
When we were kings
When we were kings

And when the long night has been fought and won
We′ll stand in the sun
And we will raise our hands
And we will touch the sky
Together we will dance in robes of gold
And we will leave the world remembering
When we were kings, (when we were kings)
And we will raise our hands
And we will touch the sky, (touch the sky)
Together we will dance in robes of gold
And we will leave the world remembering
When we were kings, (when we were kings)
And we will raise our hands
And we will touch the sky
