Ten Thousand princes,
I've seen them all.
I've seen them come,
And I see them fall.
I've watched them win,
I've watched them loose,
Since you've been around —
No-one gets to choose.
Because when the game begins
And the time is now;
When there is no more talking,
Only here and now,
There is only here and now,
I ain't seen anything quite like you,
Ain't been anyone quite like you.
Ten thousand princes,
All backs against the wall,
Ten Thousand losers,
When the winner comes to call.
How they scream in frustration!
Ten thousand reasons «why?»,
The rhetoric is endless,
I see the laughter in your eyes.
Because when the game begins
And the time is now;
When there is no more talking,
Only here and now,
Only here and now,
I ain't seen anything qute like you,
Ain't been anyone quite like you.
