Beloved David

From the beloved king and harp player
Whose name reigns as the ancient sword
That slayed the head of Goliath 

This name is sung across the wide world
A Hebrew jewel, the cornerstone of Europe
A crown of nobility and sword of the underdog 

King of the small kingdom that would birth the sun
Writer of psalms guided by wisdom herself 
Father of the most beloved white lamb

This name is sung across the wide world
A Hebrew jewel, the cornerstone of Europe
A crown of nobility and sword of the underdog
