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 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 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)
When we were kings, yeah yeah, oh
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 night
Has been fought and won
We'll stand in the sun
We will raise our hands, And we will raise our hands
And we'll touch the sky, And we will touch the sky, hey yeah
Together we will dance in robes of gold
And we will leave the world remembering, oh
When we were kings (when we were kings)
When we were kings, oh when we were kings
Yeah, when we were kings (Float like a butterfly)
(Sting like a bee) yeah
(Float like a butterfly) ohh
I remember, yeah (Sting like a bee) when we were kings
Oh im sayin' sting like a bee
When we were kings (float like a butterfly, sting like a bee)
When we were oh
I remember, (float like a butterfly, sting like a bee)
