If I Were King Songtext
von Queensrÿche

I have so much more to say, my brother
Can you hear me?
A fool is left to live as the brave ones fall
I swear if I were able
I would have done the same for you
But now you′re gone and I wish I were too

I spend all my time asking questions
How can I pay you back when
The price you paid was so, so high, my friends?

(If I were king)
If I were king of all I imagine
I would trade all I am to have you by my side
If I were king


I have too much time today, my brother
Can you hear me?
I know where I am, but I still feel lost
Please know that I am grateful
For the years you gave to me
Everything's changed, but nothing changes for you

I won′t waste my life asking questions
I've seen the horror of war and
There's so much more for a man who′s been where I′ve been

(If I were king)
If I were king of all I imagine
I would trade all I am to have you by my side
(If I were king)
If I were king of all I imagine
We would both be back home living the rest of our lives
If I were king

If I were king

(If I were king)
If I were king of all I imagine
I would trade all I am to have you by my side
(If I were king)
If I were king of all I imagine
We would both be back home living the rest of our lives
If I were king
