The problem with interpreting Ronnie James' songs is that he seems to start with a metaphorical story, and then puts it into lyrical form, so one has to decipher on two levels.
The story here is of the young man searching for the "answer", whatever the hell it is. And the answer seems to be in the middle of the circle, where he started of, suggesting the answer was in him all along. The saga concludes with him sharing it with the rest of the people.
The message of the song seems to be that rather than searching for Kings in the world around us, we should instead turn to the Kingly qualities within ourselves.
