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
