[Verse 1] I want to wear a crown of gold, so shiny it'll light up the land But my heart must dare before i can really stand I'll train and try, and soon I'll reach for the sky To be the king this realm demands [Chorus] Oh, the future must be shining bright and wide With a kingdom waiting for me to guide I’ll bring the dawn, I’ll do what's right With honor as my steed and duty as my creed A just king, like a peaceful spring That’s what I’ll bring— As the once and future king [Verse 2] One day— no blood, no crown should weigh too much to bear One day— I’ll choose the path that’s kind and always fair And even if I fall, I’ll rise and try once more 'til i bring peace to all of Britain's shores [Chorus] Oh, the future must be shining bright and wide With a kingdom waiting for me to guide I’ll bring the dawn, I’ll do what's right With honor as my steed and duty as my creed A just king, like a peaceful spring That’s what I’ll bring— As the once and future king [Bridge] Let them speak of fate and war, I’ll make a better world of that I'm sure... The future they say will bring me pain, Are only worries that will wash away in the rain... [verse 3] And if the path ahead is steep or long, I’ll carry on—I’ll have to be strong. For even when the world grows grey, A true king should never turn away. I know their tales all speak of sacrifice, yet I believe the cost won't be that high But perhaps one day I’ll understand— Why they say kings must rule with bloodstained hands. [Final Chorus, slow] Oh, the future must be shining bright and wide With a kingdom waiting for me to guide I’ll bring the dawn, I’ll do what's right With honor as my steed and duty as my creed A just king, like a peaceful spring That’s what I’ll bring— As the once and future king
