Verse 1
Give us a King, so that we can be,
like the nations around us;
He must be strong, to fight the enemy,
Of the chosen nation.

Bridge 1
Samuel, we don't need you anymore,
You may be wise, but now your old,
Samuel, we don't trust your sons like you,
Give us a king, give us a king!

Verse 2
We know we're right, we are His people,
Won't you bless us in our course?
When you are old, you often make mistakes;
You should know that we're right.

Bridge 1
Samuel, we don't need you anymore,
You may be wise, but now your old,
Samuel, we don't trust your sons like you,
Give us a king, give us a king!

Chorus
Give us a king, give us a king,
Give us a king, give us a king!

Verse 3
You can make all of the sacrifice,
For you soon will pass away;
We want a king to lead us from now on,
He will give our nation might.

Chorus
Give us a king, give us a king,
Give us a king, give us a king!

Bridge 2
What do I say to Your people Lord,
What do I say to Your people Lord?


Verse 4
Give them a king, then they will see,
The mistake that they now make;
Samuel, don't let them worry you,
They've rejected me not you.

Bridge 1
Samuel, we don't need you anymore,
You may be wise, but now your old,
Samuel, we don't trust your sons like you,
Give us a king, give us a king!

Chorus
Give us a king, give us a king,
Give us a king, give us a king!
