INTRO
I often heard of kingsin fairy tales
wearing largecrowns, adorned with precious jewels.
And I oftenwonderedif thosewere ever true,
the kingI knew wore but a smallcap.
I often heard that kings are humbly greeted by servants,
all his wishes grantedas he pleased.
Oh but underthe sun,and in itssearing heat,
the kingI knew spared nosweat for all Thais.
I heard that fairytale kings livein castles high,
with tall steeples piercing through the sky.
But on barrenground so dry,knelt downthis king of mine.
His righteous throne was rooted to the land.
I heard that kingsare sentdown from heaven,
I knew right then, I knewthis much is true.
A king who gaveus his all,blessedwere me and you.
Ourswas a saintly kingwho graced thisland.
He led us to sufficiency, to beour better selves.
The pathhe'd firmly heldall these seventy years.
There's a callingfrom above, thatbrings us to tears,
hemust now rest in heaven.
*
* Mayour voices reach himthrough the sky.
He's in ourhearts, as certain as the tide.
Let's walk hisnoble path, his lifeshall be our guide.
So hissoul may nowrest in peace.
