When you travel along your journey, walk like a king.

Does your speech display you’re worthy? Talk like a king.

If you have an appetite for knowledge eat like a king.

Persevere through the world’s scolding heat like a king.

In a battle against injustice? Fight like a king

Teach the world to be morally upright like a king.

On the quest for truth see through the lies like a king.

Never give up hope and always try like a king.

Appreciate what you have, but always give like a king.

Show the world there’s always a reason to live like a king.

Steer clear of jealousy and strife like a king.

Keep honesty and sincerity in your life like a king.

Live in community and work as a team like a king.

When you go to sleep at night dream like a king.

Always go well beyond and above like a king.

Maintain a big heart of gold and love like a king.
