Tom Hughes - The Dancer And The King Lyrics

I lift my head up
And I raise my eyes
To hold myself
In high regard
But now I see a mix
Of a pauper and a prince
The evidence that times are getting harder
Now that
You, my dear, my love
Are longing for the things I'm dreaming of
You're longing for the freedom
I'm longing for the power
Longing for the chimes as the hand hits the hour
'Cause it's written in the sands of time, my love
You can hear it in the wind
That as soon as we get answers
You'll be a dancer
And I'll be a King
But it's written in the sands of time, my love
And I'm waiting in the wings
And as soon as we get answers
You'll be a dancer
And I will be a King
So to make a success of this
We'd better think it through
And lay our plans out with care
I'll take your hands
Lead you up into the stands
And call for your name to be there
Up in the lights above the room
But June let's not peak too soon
Let's not be hasty
Keep the aim in sight
We'll take the moment
When the time is right
'Cause it's written in the sands of time, my love
You can hear it in the wind
That as soon as we get answers
You'll be a dancer
And I'll be a King
But it's written in the sands of time, my love
And I'm waiting in the wings
And as soon as we get answers
You'll be a dancer
And I will be a King
My Queen
Our light will shine through the dream
And when it clears
It'll show us everything is in our reach
We can still succeed, my dear
It's not impossible
If we plan and do anything it takes
To break this pattern of mistakes
The pattern we create
'Cause it's written in the sands of time, my love
You can hear it in the wind
That as soon as we get answers
You'll be a dancer
And I'll be a King
But it's written in the sands of time, my love
And I'm waiting in the wings
And as soon as we get answers
You'll be a dancer
And I will be a King
And as soon as we get answers
You'll be a dancer
And I will be a King
