king of the world

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 you 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 sent my troubles rollin'

and since the world just kept on turnin'

i let it go round

i didn't need no money

i didn't need no time

i didn't need nothing but my own piece of mind

where the four winds blow

i sent my troubles rollin'

and since the world just kept on turnin'

i let it go round

i didn't need no money

i didn't need no time

i didn't need nothing but my own piece of mind

i'm the king of the world
