Hold On Little King

Lyrics

[Verse 1- Narrator] The kingdom falls at dawn They've made it past the wall The King's men fought so bravely But still the kingdom falls His father wore the crown with the weight of stone There was only one hope left For his people and his throne. He wrapped the boy in burlap And moved towards the gate He tucked him in a fish cart And prayed he'd return someday. [Chorus] Hold on, little king Hold on, little king The road is cold tonight But one day your star burns bright Hold on, little king Hold on, little king Out of the ash and reeds You will rise again and reign. [Verse 2] The cart wheels rolled through mud Past the oak and thorn By the edge of the Gladwood The bundle hit the ground An old man heard the crying He carried him to his wife By the hearth of their little farm They nursed him back to life The boy so small and frail Learned to plow the fields in rain Mend fences, chop wood Milk cows and harvest grain [Chorus] Hold on, little king Hold on, little king The road is hard tonight But one day your star burns bright Hold on, little king Hold on, little king Out of the ash and reeds You will rise again and reign. [Bridge] When he became a man So good, so wise, so strong The old couple sat him down And told him where he belonged. They told him of a lost crown They told him of a King He learned about his destiny As they gave him the lion's ring. [Chorus] Hold on, little king Hold on, little king The road is hard tonight But one day your star burns bright Hold on, little king Hold on, little king Out of the ash and reeds You'll reach your destiny [Verse 3] So he gathered up the people They rode towards the wall. He defeated the evil tyrant Who made his kingdom fall He opened every iron door And set the people free In one, he found someone special An old man, his father, the King He cried tears of joy "My son, I knew you'd come. I prayed to see you one last time You're the King now. We have won." [Final Chorus] Hold on, mighty king Hold on, mighty king With God by your side A ruler great and wise Hold on, little king Hold on, little king From the fish cart to the throne The lion rose again
