King of the World
Ooh— hee-hee! Come on now
— come on— Moonlight fallin’ on a concrete stage,
A boy with fire locked in a golden cage,
He moves like thunder wrapped in velvet skin,
He carries every broken soul within.
Ooh— they never understood,
They never saw the way he would
take the pain and turn it into light — yeah!
He spun the world upon his fingertip,
One glove, one moon,
one perfect moonwalk trip
— like time itself forgot its will.
King of the world,
ooh— you danced between the stars
above, King of the world,
come on— you gave this earth your heart,
your love. Every step a prayer,
every spin a song,
You were never wrong,
you were never wrong — King of the world.
They wrote their lies in black and white and gray,
But children sang your name from far away,
Oh— you cried alone behind a silver door,
yet gave the stage a million times and more.
Your hands could heal what medicine could not,
Your eyes held every dream that life forgot — yeah!
King of
the world, ooh— you danced between the stars above,
King of the world,
come on— you gave this earth your heart,
your
love. Every step a prayer,
every spin a song,
You were never wrong,
you were never wrong — King of the world.
I just want to give you something real — something you can
feel, something you can hold when the night gets cold — that’s
all I ever wanted.
Ooh — yeah—
King… of the world…
ooh— We’ll never see your like again,
but every time a child
spins in the rain —
that’s you.
That’s always been you.
