They say a king ain’t a king without his rubies and gold
But I know kings with little things and by God does he have it all
It’s not in dimes that defines the way a man should show his love
Take the time to read between the lines

Because Rome wasn’t built in a day
And patience is the only way

This is the age of the lost and the found
And now raise a glass to those who choose to live without
And don’t need no king for a castle or a ticket to the stars
So close your eyes and know how lucky you are
So close your eyes and know how lucky you are

Now that we’ve sung and you know you’re not the only one to see behind the truth
The ceremonial dispute of love and hate and war and games
Before them white horses come galloping, you’re battling
Don’t forget to read between the lines

Because Rome wasn’t built in a day
And patience is the only way

This is the age of the lost and the found
And now raise a glass to those who choose to live without
And don’t need no king for a castle or a ticket to the stars
So close your eyes and know how lucky you are
So close your eyes and know how lucky you are

This is the age, this is the age
This is the age, this is the age
So close your eyes and know how lucky you are
