The Fall and Rise of the Broken Prince

[Verse 1]
Golden halls
They sang his name
The prince who ruled the ruthless game
His hand was heavy
His word was law
But in his shadow
The people saw
The cracks
The greed
The hollow crown
His empire high came crashing down
[Chorus]
From the dust
From the dust
He learned to build
He learned to trust
A heart once cold
Now burns with fire
Lost it all
Found his desire
From the dust
From the dust
He built a life
He earned their trust
[Verse 2]
The gilded throne
A memory torn
A beggar’s cloak
His pride forlorn
He wandered fields
He toiled in pain
Felt the sting of the cold
The bite of rain
But in the soil
He found his peace
Each passing day
His grief released
[Prechorus]
He once had power
Now he had earth
And in the ashes
He found his worth
[Chorus]
From the dust
From the dust
He learned to build
He learned to trust
A heart once cold
Now burns with fire
Lost it all
Found his desire
From the dust
From the dust
He built a life
He earned their trust
[Bridge]
A child’s laughter
A lover’s hand
A humble home
A patch of land
The prince
Now man
With softer eyes
Watched the sun paint the morning skies
No more riches
No golden cage
But a love that grew with every age
