King's Lane-Raff Pylon/Tito Jackson

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
