Song by Ty Taylor<br /><br>

MAN 1:<br>

Once upon a time I had tides to control <br>

I had moons to spin <br>

And stars to ignite <br>

And they threw flowers at my feet <br>

When I walked through the town <br>

<br>

Once upon a time I had lives to protect <br>

I had rules to change <br>

And wrongs to set right <br>

And there were people at my side <br>

And there were rivers I could guide <br>

I wanted nothing in return <br>

<br>

Let me out of here <br>

Give me back all my dreams <br>

Let me out of here <br>

Let please see the sun <br>

Let me out of here <br>

At least tell me what I did wrong <br>

<br>

I'm king of the world <br>

Chief of the sea <br>

I am the wind <br>

At least I used to be <br>

And I'm king of the world <br>

Please set me free <br>

Let me remind them of my promise <br>

Live my given destiny <br>

<br>

Once upon a time I had fate in my hands <br>

And the confidence of a million regimes <br>

And they said, "Brother, you're in charge <br>

We'll follow anything you say"<br>

<br>

Once upon a time Father said to me,<br>

"Child you are everything <br>

That you see in your dreams"<br>

And I thought, Jesus, that's the key <br>

There are no walls surrounding me <br>

There are no prisons in this life <br>

<br>

Let me out of here <br>

Give me back to the wind <br>

Let me out of here <br>

Let me please see my son <br>

Let me out of here <br>

Don't you understand who I am?<br>

<br>

I'm king of the world <br>

Chief of the sea <br>

I am the wind <br>

At least I try to be <br>

And I'm king of the world <br>

Please set me free <br>

I had the power and the promise <br>

Give me back my family <br>

<br>

Why are we punished for wanting to explore?<br>

Why am I sitting in this cell?<br>

I was not challenging the system <br>

I was working for the people <br>

I just wanted to be better <br>

<br>

Why are we punished for wanting to survive?<br>

Why am I locked behind these bars?<br>

Tell the children I'll return to them <br>

Tell them...<br>

Someone let them know I will be free <br>

<br>

I will not be defeated <br>

I will stand like a mountain <br>

And the road will stretch before me <br>

And they'll know it's time to follow <br>

<br>

And we'll lift our eyes <br>

And raise our heads <br>

And face the sun <br>

And tell the future <br>

I'm king of the world <br>

Land of the free <br>

High in the sky <br>

The best that I can be <br>

And I'm king of the world <br>

Watch and you'll see <br>

Nothing can stop me from tomorrow,<br>

Keep me from my destiny <br>

<br>

I'm king of the world <br>

I'm king of the world <br>

I'm... <br>

I'm...<br>

At least I used to be<br>

<br>

<br>

<br>
