If I Were King

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 high, my friends.

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 of all I imagine,

I would trade what I have

to have you back at my side.

If I were King of all I imagine,

we would both be back home

living the rest of our lives.

If I were King.
