Lyrics

King, where are your people now?
Chained and pacified
Tried in vain to show them how
And for that you died
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
You had a dream of a promised land
People of all nations walking hand in hand
But they're not ready to accept that
Dream situation, yet
King, where are your people now?
Chained and pacified
Tried in vain to show them how
And for that you died
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
King, where are your people now?
Chained and pacified
Tried
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
King, where are your people now?
Chained and pacified
Tried
King, where are your people now?
Chained and pacified
Tried
And for that you died
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
King, where are your people now?
