King Of The World

You don't have to fear

Temptation's nowhere

As ten thousand eyes

Look with despair

No-one's on your side

That's just how you feel

Spinning down the road

Just like a wheel

Whoa, the human race is stained

Yeah, down to the floor they're chained

Yeah, oh yeah

There was a man, no betrayer

Poets wrote that he might be a king

Scarlet robe 'cross his shoulder

Had no price, didn't wear golden rings

Every day people followed

They all said he's the king of the world

Every day no more sorrow

They all said he's the king of the world

There's good in every heart

Yeah we all know that

But for just one kiss

They sky turned black

Some confess their sins

That won't wash them clean

Some sit on the fence

Stuck in between

Whoa, you can just dance and sing

Yeah, it doesn't mean a thing

Yeah, oh yeah

There was a man, no betrayer

Poets wrote that he might be a king

Scarlet robe 'cross his shoulder

Had no price, didn't wear golden rings

Every day people followed

They all said he's the king of the world

Every day no more sorrow

They all said he's the king of the world

Careful as you go

Make sure you can see

Lessons you have learned

They don't come free

Many stories told

Some are hard to believe

But they last for years

That's guaranteed

Whoa, all through the years that passed

Yeah, all of the things you asked

Yeah, oh yeah

There was a man, no betrayer

Poets wrote that he might be a king

Scarlet robe 'cross his shoulder

Had no price, didn't wear golden rings

Every day people followed

They all said he's the king of the world

Every day no more sorrow

They all said he's the king of the world

He walked the line

And many people said

Life must be cheap

Or he's just going blind

He walked the line

And somehow took the blame

He breathed in deep

Just waiting for a sign

He walked the line

And lifted up his head

Some had to weep

But some just said it's time

He walked the line

No more would he exclaim

His own mystique

The purpose or design

There was a man, no betrayer

Poets wrote that he might be a king

Scarlet robe 'cross his shoulder

Had no price, didn't wear golden rings

Every day people followed

They all said he's the king of the world

Every day no more sorrow

They all said he's the king of the world
