VERSE 1
We want a king like everyone else.
With our king, "That has such a nice ring".
With a king we'd be like the rest.
With a king we'd be there with the best.
With a king our future's secure.
With a king, with a king, with a king.
VERSE 2
We want a king, like everyone else with a king
With a king, "We could 'drink to his health".
With a king our battles he'd win.
With a king a new day would begin.
With a king we could do anything.
With a king, with a king, with a king.
CHORUS
Why all of a sudden has your view been changed,
From one who proved faithful and brought you much gain?
He helped those before us and will do again.
But what you now ask for is dangerous my friends.
VERSE 3
We want a king, "Let's have a parade".
For our king - "We'll have it made"
When there are fierce battles to fight,
Then our king will fight through the night
To preserve our freedom and land.
With a king, with a king, with a king.
CHORUS
Now this isn't right and it's not a good thing
To have a man rule over Israel as king.
For God has been faithful and He has been just.
Why put your faith in some man you can't trust?
VERSE 4
We want a king like everyone else
With a king, "We could drink to his health".
When we have a storm in the night,
Then our king will fight, fight, fight, fight
To preserve our freedom and land.
With a king, with a king, with a king
TAG
We want a king, we want a king, give us a king!
