If I Was King

IF I WAS A KING
(Reb Beach—Jeff Pilson—Robin McAuley)

BOW DOWN BEFORE ME
AND YOU'LL REAP YOUR JUST REWARDS CHOOSE TO IGNORE ME
BE IT BY YOUR OWN ACCORD NOW THAT IT'S BROKEN
THERE ARE LESSONS TO BE LEARNED YOU DRINK THE POISON
HISTORY IS OVERTURNED

*SOMEWHERE IN THE NIGHT PAIN AND MISERY
WAITING TO IGNITE
THE FIRE BURNS FOREVER BRIGHT

*CHORUS:
IF I WAS A KING I WOULD MAKE A CHANGE
AND I WOULD TRY TO SWEEP YOU OFF YOUR FEET AND MAKE YOU QUEEN
IF I RULED THE WORLD
AND THERE WAS LOVE AND PEACE AND EVERYTHING THEN WE COULD LEARN TO FLY
IF I WAS KING

DON'T BITE THE HAND THAT FEEDS DON'T PUT THE BLAME ON ME LISTEN TO MY STORY
AND I PROMISE YOU WILL SEE THERE IS NO HIDEAWAY

NO PLACE YOU CAN'T BE FOUND A STORM IS COMING
THAT WILL SHAKE YOU TO THE GROUND

*SOMEWHERE IN THE NIGHT PAIN AND MISERY
WAITING TO IGNITE
THE FIRE BURNS FOREVER BRIGHT

BRIDGE:
WAKE ME IN THE MORNING AS THE SUN BEGINS TO RISE
FREE ME FROM THIS NIGHTMARE THAT I KNOW TELL ME I WAS DREAMIN
WASH THE SLEEP OUT FROM MY EYES OH!

WE ARE BROKENOUR WHOLE LIVES

*CHORUS:
