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 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

With the four winds blow
I sent my troubles rollin'
And since the world just kept 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

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

Where the four winds blow
I sent my troubles rollin'
Since the world just kept 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

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

I'm the king of the world
