Ready to Rule

You think you're ready, but ruling a kingdom is not so simple
It reminds me of a story
Ha, it always does

There once was a king who'd lost his new crown
He frantically searched for it all over town
Alas, he did not hear the shouts as he sped
Of everyone saying it was right on his head

Oh, he thought he was ready to rule
But he still had some learning to do
If you listen up more than you speak
You will soon gain the wisdom you seek
So there's no need to rush
Keep your cool
And one day you'll be ready to rule

I fully intend to take your good advice
But the years I spent watching my dad should suffice
To teach me the things that I need to have down
Like how to know when I am wearing a crown

Oh, I know that I'm ready to rule
Though you think I have learning to do
So I'll have to come up with a way
I can prove it to you on this day
Then you will see when I'm through
That I am already ready to rule

Huh papa, how can I show them I can be as good a leader as you?
The city, of course
Today I will meet with all the city leaders
And make sure they have what they need to restore our kingdom to greatness
Can you arrange that, Armando?

Oh, is the chief of the castle supposed to arrange these things?
I'm still getting used to the job

I know everyone who's anyone in Avalor
I will take care of everything

Then what are we waiting for?
I'll take charge like the leader I know I can be
And take care of all those who are counting on me

Though I hold you in the highest esteem
There's more to good leadership than it may seem

So I know I'm ready to rule
But you still have some learning to do
Now I really must be on my way
Even though I am begging you stay
Soon you will see what I say is true
No, it's you who will see when I'm through

Oh, one day you'll be ready
I am already ready
Ha, you almost are ready
I'll show you
I'm ready
So ready
To rule
