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
[Chorus]
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
Repeat chorus
Where the four winds blow
I sent my troubles rollin'
And since the world just kept on turnin'
I let it go round
Repeat chorus
I'm the king of the world
