"When I Am King" lyrics
"When I Am King"
Wake up without a care
Your head's not heavy
Your conscience clear
Sins are all forgiven here
Yours and mine
Fear is gone without a trace
It's the perfect time in the perfect place
Nothing hurtin', nothing sore
No one suffers anymore
The doctor found a simple cure
Just in time
All these things if I were king
Would all appear around me
The world will sing when I am king
The world will sing when I am king
She walks right in
She don't even knock
It's the girl you lost
To the high-school jock
She shuts the door
Turns the lock
And she takes your hand
She says she always felt a fool
For pickin' the captain over you
She wonders if you missed her
Says she always told her sister
That you're the best damn kisser
That she'd ever had
All these things if I were king
Would all appear around me
The world will sing when I am king
The world will sing when I am king
Daylight waits to shine until
The moment you awaken
So you never miss the dawn
No question now
You know which road you're takin'
Lights all green
The radio plays just the perfect song
The war's been won
The fights are fought
And you find yourself
In just the spot
In a place where everybody's got
A song to sing
Then like the final movie scene
The prince will find his perfect queen
The hero always saves the world
The villains get what they deserve
The fella always gets the girl
When I am king
All these things, if I were king
Would all appear around me
The world will sing when I am king
All these things, if I were king
Would all appear around me
The world will sing when I am king
The world will sing when I am king
The world will sing when I am king

Tim Hicks - "Got A Feeling" I'm a bullfrog sitting on a log
Watching them flies like a bone to a dog

Words on the loudspeakers
Hanging in the air
Everywhere
And I remember the words

Well, the South side of Chicago
Is the baddest part of town
And if you go down there
You better just beware
Of a man named Leroy Brown
Now Leroy more than trouble

Scottish Canadian with opportunity
