The Sword in the Stone (song)

"The Sword in the Stone" is the opening song of the film of the same name. It is sung by Fred Darian.

Lyrics

A legend is sung of when England was young
And knights were brave and bold
The good king had died
And no one could decide
Who was rightful heir to the throne

It seemed that the land would be torn by a war
Or saved by a miracle alone
And that miracle appeared in London town
The sword in the stone.  And below the hilt in letters of gold… were written these words: "Whoso pulleth out this sword of this stone and anvil… is rightwise the king born of England." Though they tried for the sword With all their might No knight In all the land Could draw the wondrous blade From its resting place Its secret, they could not understand The one who was meant to rule the land And worthy of the throne He will seek the sword with a humble heart And not for himself alone He will be the one who was born to claim The Sword In The Stone
