I'm No King

I don't need a crown

the throne

nor the kingdom 

or even the title itself 

all I need is a cause

so I can lead by example

the once respected crown

is merely an accessory 

the throne is for sitting 

but I'd rather stand

a kingdom is a kingdom 

some are with you 

while others are plotting

to take your place

and as far as the title goes 

I can be a king
because it's my birthright 

or I can be so much more 
than I ever dreamt possible 

all I need is a cause 

so I can lead by example 
I'm no king
just a being with purpose 
who fights for everyone
