[Verse]
A lantern burns in his weary hand
Shadows stretch like a silent band
Every step feels carved in stone
Leading the way but feeling alone
[Prechorus]
He gives and gives till nothing's left
A hollow king
A heart bereft
[Chorus]
The weight of the crown
It pulls him down
Every smile hides a quiet frown
He’s the strength they all demand
But he’s just a man
Just a man
[Verse 2]
He breaks himself to build their walls
Echoes lost in empty halls
They see the leader
Never the cracks
A fragile soul beneath the acts
[Prechorus]
The world’s on his shoulders
Heavy and tight
But no one asks if he’s alright
[Chorus]
The weight of the crown
It pulls him down
Every smile hides a quiet frown
He’s the strength they all demand
But he’s just a man
Just a man
