Brian McKnight - When We Were Kings lyrics

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 fight, has been fought and won

We'll stand in the sun

[Chorus:]

And we will raise out 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

[Chorus]

Do you remember

When we were kings

Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee

Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee

And when the long fight, has been fought and won

We'll stand in the sun

[Chorus]
