When I Am King

Great Big Sea

Wake up

Without a care

Your head's not heavy, your conscience clear

Sins are all forgiven here

Yours and mine

Fear is gone without a trace

It's the perfect time in the perfect place

Nothing's hurting, nothing's sore

No one suffers anymore

The doctor found a simple cure

Just in time



All these things if I were king

Would all appear around me

The world will sing when I am king

The world will sing when I am king



Oh, she walks right in

She don't even knock

It's the girl you lost to the high school jock

She shuts the door, turns the lock

And she takes your hand

She says she always felt a fool

For picking the captain over you

She wonders if you missed her

Said she always told her sister

Oh, that you're the best damn kisser

That she's ever had



All these things if I were king

Would appear around me

The world will sing when I am king

The world will sing when I am king



Daylight waits to shine until the moment you awaken

So you never miss the dawn

No question now, you know which road you're taking

Lights all green, the radio plays just the perfect song



Well, the war's been won

All the fights are fought

You find yourself in just the spot

It's a place where everybody's got a song to sing

Just like the final movie scene

The prince will find his perfect queen

The hero always saves the world

The villains get what they deserve

The boy will always get the girl

When I am king
