a great big world - when i am king lyrics

[verse 1]
i have sung you a lifetime of praises
i’ve been faithful and followed the rules
why implant this desire in my soul like a fire
and give somebody else the jewels?
oh father, why must you betray me?
after all, i deserve but a glimpse
just a touch of divine, just a sip of your wine
why, oh why, must you tease me like this?

[chorus]
when i am king
i’ll have everything
the whole world will love me
and i’ll shine with thе stars up above me
oh, when i, i am king

[verse 2]
brothеr, here i am, unarmed and naked
i lay down my sword and you take it
you wave it high in your hand like it’s yours to command
and you ignore my request for a truce
well, i’m done being taken for granted
and i’m done coming out empty handed
it’s a matter of time, for that throne will be mine
and your head will have found a noose
[chorus]
when i am king
i’ll have everything
the whole world will love me
and i’ll shine with the stars up above me
oh, when i, i am king

[instrumental]

[chorus]
oh, oh
oh, when i am king
i’ll have everything
and the whole world will love me
and i’ll laugh with the gods up above me
when i, i am king
when i, i am king

[outro]
when i am king
