"King Of A Land" lyrics

Yusuf / Cat Stevens Lyrics

"King Of A Land"

If I was a king of a land
I'd free every woman and man
I'd let them go
I'd set them free to serve You

If I knew every fish in the sea
And every bird in the tree
I'd hear their call
I'd hear them speak Your name

If I ran the schools of this world
I'd teach every boy and girl
I'd let them learn the truth
I'd let them know Your glory

If I had the stairs to the sky
(If I had the stairs to the sky)
I'd raise my voice up there high
(Raise my voice up there high)
I'd want the world to hear
Your perfect words and thank You

If I had a mountain of gold
I'd try to feed every poor soul
And give them hope again
And let them taste Your bounty

If I could reach every dream
I still would search the unseen
To find a way
That leads us to Your mercy

If I was a king of a land
(If I was a king of a land)
I'd free every woman and man
(Free every woman and man)
I'd let them go
I'd set them free to serve You
