[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
