Everything closes
I'm walking along a street
Where grows a million roses
The castle right beside me leaves me speechless
I'm not dreaming at all
It's all in front of me
This past and present colliding,
For some reason
Makes me wonder if I could be
More than a hopeless boy
In a world so wild and hazy
The old kings of this world
Might have been crazy
It's not any better now
If only my words could ring all over
I'd shout it clear like an emperor
The world would be in peace
If we lived together
The way that these million roses share
Colour and space along the old king's lane
Start it all over
Back at a time I felt like I had all the answers
Never cared about the time
Cause I had forever
And I was proud to a fault
Wanted everything without trying
Don't bother fighting, not really listening
But it only takes a minute around here
To figure out all these things
You've been wondering about in a hurry
Just a little glimpse at the roses
Makes you happy
But it won't make it better now
If only my words could ring all over
I'd shout it clear like an emperor
The world would be in peace
If we lived together
The way that these million roses share
Colour and space along the old king's lane
King's lane
King's lane
King's lane oooh
If only my words could ring all over
I'd shout it clear like an emperor
The world would be in peace
If we lived together
The way that these million roses share
Colour and space along the old
If only my words could ring all over
I'd shout it clear like an emperor
The world would be in peace
If we lived together
The way that these million roses share
Colour and space along the old king's lane
Brothers and sisters
For much too long
We have been driven by fear
And fuelled division
This time is over
It is now time to embrace the power
Of our differences and make a difference
Together we have a responsibility
To break down these walls that separate us
And unite to create this world where we can finally believe
That there is only
One Earth
One Race
The Human Race
