The King and I Page #4

...to each other tonight

I've been in love like you

I know how it feels

To have wings on your heels

And to fly down a street in a trance

You fly down a street

On the chance that you'll meet

And you meet...

...not really by chance

Don't cry, young lovers

Whatever you do

Don't cry because I'm alone

All of my memories...

...are happy tonight

I've had a love of my own

I've had a love of my own

Like yours

I've had a love...

...of my own

Be it pleasures and palaces

Though we may roam

Be it ever so humble

There's no place like home

A charm from the skies

Seems to hallow us there

- Father, I'll be late for school!

- You wait.

You are pleased to recite proverb

you learn yesterday...

...and writing down 12 times

in copybook.

"A thought for the day:

East or west...

...home is best. "

"East, west, home, best,"

means house!

"A man's house is only less dear

to him than his honor. "

Every day, month after week,

something about house.

Are my children to be taught

nothing more?

Yesterday we are taught...

...that the world is a round ball...

...which spins on an invisible stick

through its middle.

Everyone knows the world

rides on the back of a turtle...

...who keeps it

from running into the stars.

How can it be that everyone knows

one thing...

...if many people

believe another thing?

Then which is true?

The world is ball...

...with stick through it.

I believe.

You believe?

Does that mean that you do not know?

But you must know,

because you are king.

Good.

Someday you too will be king...

...and you too will know everything.

But how do I learn?

And when do I know

that I know everything?

When you are king.

When you are king.

But I do not know.

In my head are many facts,

but I am not sure.

What to tell a growing son?

How to bring truth and justice

to my people?

When I was a boy

World was better spot

What was so was so

What was not was not

Now I am a man

World have change a lot

Some things nearly so

Others nearly not

There are times I almost think

I am not sure

Of what I absolutely know

Very often find confusion

In conclusion

I concluded long ago

In my head are many facts

That as a student

I have studied to procure

In my head are many facts

Of which I wish

I was more certain

I was sure

Is a puzzlement

Shall I join with other nations

In alliance?

If allies are weak

Am I not best alone?

If allies are strong with power

To protect me

Might they not protect me

Out of all I own?

Is a danger to be trusting

One another

One will seldom want to do

What other wishes

But unless someday

Somebody trust somebody

There'll be nothing left on earth
