[SAUL]
Saul has slain his thousands and David his ten thousands
Saul has slain his thousands and David his ten thousands

[JONATHON]
Saul's going mad, because your every move outshines him
He sees the multitude embrace you
His people love you but your triumph undermines him
He loves you too but cannot face you
You're that uncommon thing: a hero
Which gives you all the love you need
And how it must destroy him to concede

This is the time for you
You have it all
You can do anything
You're standing tall
This is your golden age
You will recall
In quieter times than these that you once had it all

[ENSEMBLE]
Saul has slain his thousands
And David his ten thousands

[JONATHON]
O lucky man
The world is yours, embracing you
[ENSEMBLE]
Saul has slain his thousands

[JONATHON]
And all you hear are people saying "Yes"

[ENSEMBLE]
And David his ten thousands

[JONATHON]
The pace is hot
The power brokers chasing you
The lesser mortals clamor too
All of this, and glamour too
That's happiness I guess

[DAVID]
I love my friend as I love life and both I cherish
Uncompromising and unfailing
I swear this covenant we make will never perish
In any circumstance prevailing

[JONATHON]
It's very hard when things come easy
You start to fear a bitter end
I promise you, you have a friend
This is the time for you
You have it all
You can do anything
You're standing tall

[JONATHON & DAVID]
This is our golden age
We will recall
In safer times than these that we once had it all

[JONATHON]
In better times than these that we once had it all
