Lyrics
[Intro Instrumental]
(Verse 1)
Once upon a time, there was a king with peculiar ears,
They protruded high, like those of donkeys, so it appears.
Yet, the king took pride in his unique auricular trait,
Believing them the most beautiful, none could debate.
(Chorus)
The king with donkey ears, oh what a sight,
He was oblivious to the people's plight.
They whispered and snickered, behind his back,
"The king's ears are strange, a peculiar knack."
(Verse 2)
One day, the king addressed his gathered crowd,
But their attention waned, their voices so loud.
They mocked his ears, their laughter echoing wide,
The king's heart sank, his spirit bruised inside.
(Chorus)
The king with donkey ears, oh what a shame,
He remained unaware, caught up in his own game.
They whispered and snickered, behind his back,
"The king's a fool, his mind off the track."
(Verse 3)
As time went by, the king fell ill,
Yet not a soul showed care, their hearts turned still.
They awaited his demise, with greedy eyes,
The king lay alone, with sorrow as his prize.
(Chorus)
The king with donkey ears, oh what a plight,
He finally realized, his kingdom's plight.
They sought not a true king, but power and greed,
Their hearts
(Chorus)
The king with donkey ears, oh what a plight,
He finally realized, his kingdom's plight.
They sought not a true king, but power and greed,
Their hearts devoid of empathy, a sorrowful seed.
(Verse 4)
With his waning strength, the king spoke his last,
"Though my ears are like donkeys, my reign has surpassed.
I've ruled with honesty, my heart ever true,
Yet you mock and scorn, your loyalty askew."
(Chorus)
The king with donkey ears, his truth revealed,
But the people remained unreconciled.
They turned a blind eye, to his words so sincere,
Lost in their illusions, their hearts filled with fear.
(Bridge)
History repeats, its patterns so clear,
In our society today, those with donkey ears appear.
They wield power and influence, with motives so sly,
Exploiting the masses, as their egos fly high.
(Chorus)
The king with donkey ears, though a tale of old,
Holds a lesson profound, a story to unfold.
The truth cannot be hidden, forever concealed,
The people must awaken, their vision revealed.
(Outro)
We all have the potential, to be kings and queens,
But true leadership demands, more than just means.
It requires the courage, to face truth's stark glare,
And a heart full of compassion, for those who truly care.
