king of the world

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, where the four winds blow, i sent my troubles rollin', and since the world just kept on 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, where the four winds blow, i sent my troubles rollin', and since the world just kept on 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, i'm the king of the world
