[Verse 1]
C Once upon a time I had Gtides to control
I had Ammoons to spin
And Fstars to ignite
Am And they threw flowers at my Gfeet
When I walked through the Ftown
C Once upon a time I had Glives to protect
I had Amrules to change
And Fwrongs to set right
Am And there were people at my Gside
And there were rivers I could Fguide
I wanted nothing in return
[Pre-Chorus]
Let me Fout of here
Give me Gback all my dreams
Let me Cout of here
Let Amplease see the sun
Let me Fout of here
At least Gtell me what I did wrong
[Chorus]
CI'm king of the Gworld
Chief of the Amsea
High in the Fwind
At least I used to be
And CI'm king of the Gworld
Please set me Amfree
Let me reFmind them of my promise
Live my given destiny C
[Verse 2]
C Once upon a time I had Gfate in my hands
And the Amconfidence of a Fmillion regimes
Am And they said, "Brother you're in Gcharge
We'll follow anything you Fsay"
C Once upon a time Father Gsaid to me
"Child you are Ameverything
That you Fsee in your dreams"
Am And I thought, Jesus, that's the kGey
There are no walls surrounding Fme
There are no prisons in this life
[Pre-Chorus]
Let me Fout of here
Give me Gback to the wind
Let me Cout of here
Let me Amplease see my son
Let me Fout of here
Don't you Gunderstand who I am?
[Chorus]
CI'm king of the Gworld
Chief of the Amsea
High in the Fwind
At least I try to be
And CI'm king of the Gworld
Please set me Amfree
I had the Fpower and the promise
Give me back my family C
[Bridge]
Am Why are we punished for Fwanting to explore?
Why am I Csitting in this cell?G
Am I was not challenging the Fsystem
I was working for the Cpeople
I just wanted to be Gbetter
Am Why are we punished for Fwanting to survive?
Why am I Clocked behind these bars?G
Am Tell the children I'll reFturn to them
Tell them . . . CSomeone
Let them Gknow I will be free
G I will not be defeated
G I will stand like a mountain
G And the road will stretch before me
G And they'll know it's time to follow
And we'll Glift our eyes
And Graise our heads
And Gface the sun
And Gtell the future
[Chorus]
CI'm king of the Gworld
Land of the Amfree
High in the Fsky
The best that I can be
And CI'm king of the Gworld
Watch and you'll Amsee
Nothing can Fstop me from tomorrow
Keep me from my destiny
CI'm king of the Gworld
AmI'm king of the Fworld
CI'm . . . CI'm .
At least I used to be C
