King
Tamar Braxton Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hear them marching behind you
Soldiers saying, "lie never behind your back"
I know you'd give your life for the city
Can't you hear the bells, they're ringing for you

Suddenly, you are my king, king
Time to leave with my king, king
So let my love, love surround you
Let my love, love bring it back

Fear not
'Cause I'll be with you all the way
Don't you worry it's almost over
My king, don't you be afraid
Fear not, fear not
And when the world starts trembling
Just say my name, fear not
'Cause I'll be with you all the way
Fear not, fear not

You're natural leader
Your words are alive, you're a dreamer babe
Your voice is like lightning and thunder
There's no man that I'd rather be under than you, fear not

Time to leave with my king, king
Time to leave with my king, king
So let my love, love surround you
Let my love, love bring it back

Fear not
'Cause I'll be with you all the way
Don't you worry it's almost over
My king, don't you be afraid
Fear not, fear not
And when the world starts trembling
Just say my name, fear not
'Cause I'll be with you all the way
Don't you worry it's almost over
My king, don't you be afraid
Fear not, fear not
And when the world starts trembling




Just call my name
Fear not, fear not
