The Man Who Would Be King Lyrics

As he travels on the beast of Burden
Moving up along the mountain side
As he gazes looking down the valley
No regrets but his pride
As he journeys across mountain passes
Insignificance sweeps overÿ; him
His reflection of the beauty around him
Feeling empty inside
He is running from his wildest thoughts
He is running from his everything
He is looking now to find something
Hoping he could be saved
Hes searching for the answer now
Is something that hes managed to avoid up until now
Looking for the conviction that he craves
He needs to find the answer sooner or later
Pushed himself to the limits
He had to strife for all the harder things in life
But what the cost to give him now
His life and time is the only things that he has
Life is is not a rehearsal, only has this the one
chance to get it right
Living really is only way to know
Maybe one day theyll forgive him what hes done
with all the pain of lying too early in the grave
Destiny, no good to hide away
Hear us now, well be his only way
Understand, no good to run away
Hear us now, well be his saving grace
(solo)
Just to make his peace with God
All is forgivable but hes left a little late
Trying something that hes not
Is impossible to change such a lot
Hes taken someones life away
Theres not a day that goes by he regrets what hes
done
He should have found another way
But the good book says an eye for an eye
In reflecting on decisions that were made
On the judgements that will haunt him till his grave
No-one has the right to take another life
But in his mind he had no choice so be it
Destiny, no good to hide away
Hear us now, well be his only way
understand , no good to run away
Hear us now, well be his saving grace
Destiny, no good to hide away
Hear us now, well be his only way
understand, no place to run away
Hear us now, well be his saving grace
Far, far away
The man who would be king
Far, far away
The man who would be king
So far away
The man who would be king
So far away
The man who would be king
Far, far away
The man who would be king
