When you were a little boy They came and took you away And far across the rolling plains For months on that caravan trail Born to be king In the highest domain in the world O Lama, as king you cannot reign But you people will remain With their hearts turned to you Their teacher, their leader, their lord So show the world you're still the king Keep on smiling, everything will be all right And when the time has come to pass Justice will be seen at last in the land of snow You know the Dharma will remain Spreading its light throughout the world
