King of the World Lyrics

high on a hill
the valley below me
the blue sky above me
my dream was so real
i could not hear
the hum of the highway
or the drums of the foundry
pounding out steel
i didn't need no money
i didn't need no time
i didn't need nothing
but my own piece of mind
and to know that
a voice like a whisper is bound to be heard
for just one moment
i'm the king of the world
for just one moment
i'm the king of the world
so i close my eyes
i let the power defeat me
because the real world can't free me
from this dirty old town
where the four winds blow
i send my troubles rolling
since the world just kept turning
i let it go round
see i took it all in
like time takes forever
in a dream that you never
believed would come true
then i gave it away
i just had to surrender
man i just can't remember
when i felt so good
