King and Country Lyrics

All the love of my mother, I offer to you
And I'll try so very hard , to get you through
If lay down my life, for my King and country men
Would it change you for the better
It better be all right
To be always like children
Afraid of the night

If I gave up the cause , what would you give me
To make up for all the things that I would lose
If I lay down my life , for my King and country men
Would it change you for the better
It better be all right
To be always like children
Afraid of the night

Well you better get busy , get it over and done
I was here when you arrived , I'll be here when you're gone
If I give up my life for my King and country men
Would it change you for the better
It better be all right
To be never like people
Afraid of the night

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
