If I Were a King Lyrics by Jellyfish Brigade

Diving Lessons

[Hook]
Raise your glass and toast with me, we'll deal with the difficulties when the morning comes
Yeah we're done with the fight—well at least for the night
It's easier, my friend, beneath the moon's shining light
Raise your glass and toast with me, I'll be here with you 'til we see the next orange sun
Well, if I were a king, with riches to my name
I swear to you, my friend, we'd live right now the same
[Verse 1]
Feast for the fam, even in the heat of famine
Stone Soup Community, gather what we can manage
I Peter Pan'd it with lost boys for many long ones
Been through some struggles and shit, but it's been awesome
Chalice raised for the battle-slain kinship
Who missed the opportunity to grow and change with us
We passed their folklore with misty eyes and fond remembrance
So our seeds' seeds mention them as gods and legends
Tipsy with a peasant's heart and an open bottle
Exhaling smoky question marks into the only convo
I've challenged wits and been a part of many pointless squabbles
Then fell into those friendly arms when I was going gonzo
So eat up, meats, berries, veggies from the garden
Them Hives Colony kids won't see anybody starving, nope
We're broke but celebrating with an all-nighter
Surrounded by the dreamers and my favorite songwriters
[Hook]
Raise your glass and toast with me, we'll deal with the difficulties when the morning comes
Yeah we're done with the fight—well at least for the night
It's easier, my friend, beneath the moon's shining light
Raise your glass and toast with me, I'll be here with you 'til we see the next orange sun
Well, if I were a king, with riches to my name
I swear to you, my friend, we'd live right now the same
[Verse 2]
My jeweled crown is a tilted, black fitted hat
My throne's a ragged, wicker rocking chair that creaks
I leave the kingdom for where lily pads kick it at
Returning to the crib with royalty waiting there for me
Where will we be when our beards are white and curly
When our silence is our virtue and we wake up bright and early
To hear the morning birds and carve a sturdy walking stick
And understand a thing that was and will be always is?
I know it won't be here, that's why I hug you like I do
We're still the caterpillars spinning butterfly cocoons
Our best is yet to come, I say that proud as I can be
In hopes my best is a horizon beaming out of reach
So drink up, there’s laughter and some tears when we link up
Entertaining fables and philosophies we think of
So when I'm pulled down like I’ve had my phoenix wings cut
I call my family to join and live it like a king does
[Hook]
