Lyrics:

Every corner of the city's lined with shadows
Every stranger in the street averts their eyes
All the people locked away behind the windows
They're all waiting for a hero to arise
All the men remember days when they were stronger
Every woman hides a dagger in her gown
But you won't cover up your faces any longer
On the day when I come riding into town

So put a light on in your window, put your face against the glass
Don't you know that I'm your hero? Won't you whistle when I pass?
I'll move a mountain if you just rely on me
I'll be the one you want to call "Your Majesty"

Every year it comes with trials and tribulations
And all the answers are revealed to next to none
But I recall a time of grand imaginations
Long before you learned to say "it can't be done"
There is a storm to come that none alone can weather
But if you'd like to learn I'll gladly show you how
And in the days ahead we all will band together
For your liberator walks among you now

So raise a banner from the tower when you open up the gate
Don't you know this is your hour? I have come to bear the weight
I swear I'll set your body and your spirit free
I'll be the one you want to call "Your Majesty"

Now is the reckoning of wretches and the meek
For the champion that you seek is at your door
I'll rectify a world of impotence and rage
And not only for an age but evermore

In times of trouble we are torn in all directions
You may be dazzled by the roads you travel down
Do not beleaguer in the burden of selection
You'll be lighter when you learn to lay your crown
I've heard the wailing of your city in the distance
I know the strain you must endure to still believe
But I could steer a steady course with your assistance
Toward the things that only power can achieve

So now awaken from your slumber, wipe the worry from your brow
Don't know I've got your number? Can't you hear me calling now?
I'll make you one with wonders none before could see
I'll be the one you want to call "Your Majesty"
I'll be the one you beg to call "Your Majesty"
I'll be the one you dare to call "Your Majesty"
