That night he left
You know the moon disappeared
And the sun hasn't shined since then
And all the stars seemed dull that night
Except for one
And that star was him

You know I never cry for anyone
But I cried for him
You know I'd never die for anyone
But a part of me died with him
With him, with him, with him

As Grant left to build his kingdom
Where the children would praise his name
As Grant left to build his kingdom
Where the children would praise his name, his name, his name
And they'd all yell...

Grant the king
Grant the king

Something of a god
More of a man than you and me
But we all took it for granted
You know we never could see
I hope he comes back to show us all
To show us all how we were wrong
But I fear he will never
The boy is gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone

You know I never cry for anyone
But I cried for him
You know I'd never die for anyone
But a part of me died with him
With him, with him, with him

As Grant left to build his kingdom
Where the children would praise his name
As Grant left to build his kingdom
Where the children would praise his name, his name, his name
And I bet he'd smile when they yell...

Grant the king
Grant the king
