🎙️ LYRICS:
The battle was won and the banners flew high
The smoke of the enemy darkened the sky
The General rode on a stallion of white
But he looked at the ruin and wept at the sight.

Low is the valley, high is the hill
Strength is in bending your iron will!
Crown in the dirt, hands in the clay
The greatest of Kings is a servant today!

He took off his armor, he took off his gold
He walked with the lepers, the sick, and the old
He carried the timber, he planted the seed
He helped every stranger who suffered in need.

Low is the valley, high is the hill
Strength is in bending your iron will!
Crown in the dirt, hands in the clay
The greatest of Kings is a servant today!

A peasant boy asked him, "Sir, who might you be?
You work like a slave, but you walk like you're free."
The King merely smiled and he wiped off his brow
"I am just a man who is pulling the plow."

Low is the valley, high is the hill
Strength is in bending your iron will!
Crown in the dirt, hands in the clay
The greatest of Kings is a servant today!

So listen ye lords who sit high on the throne
You cannot rule people with hearts made of stone
To lead is to serve, and to serve is to shine
Humility makes a mortal divine.

Low is the valley, high is the hill
Strength is in bending your iron will!
Crown in the dirt, hands in the clay
The greatest of Kings is a servant today!
