My thirst for the things of this earth
Isn't quenched by diamonds and pearls
One Man lived the life that I want
He's the One they said ruled the world

Though He only wore a crown of thorns
And He never owned a thing

I wanna live like a king, I wanna live like a king
And my decree it will ring: "Love will rule everything"
I wanna live like a king

This King did the strangest of things
He befriended the sick and the poor
There was no one too wrong, too right
Too black, too white for Him to love
He built no walls, left no unopened doors

Well now I could croon a million other tunes
There's just one I wanna sing:

I don't wanna be Him
Just wanna be like Him
Don't wanna make anyone else be
Anything else they don't wanna be
There's just such power
Healing power
In every word that He said
In every deed that He did
I wanna, I wanna
