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 to 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 

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 send my troubles rolling 
Since the world just kept turning 
I let it go round

See I took it all in 
Like time takes forever 
In a dream that you never 
Believed would come true 
Then I gave it away 
I just had to surrender 
Man I just can't remember 
When I felt so good
