When I am King Lyrics by Great Big Sea

When I am King Lyrics

    Wake up, without a care. Your head's not heavy, your conscience clear
    Sins are all forgiven here, yours and mine
    Fear has gone without a trace
    It's the perfect time, it's the perfect place
    Nothing hurting. Nothing sore. No one suffers anymore,
    The doctor's found a simple cure.
    Just in time

    Chorus
    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

    Ah 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 takes your hand.
    She says she always felt a fool, for picking the Captain over you
    She wonders if you miss her, says she always told her sister
    Now that you're the best damn kisser
    That she's ever had

    Bridge
    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
    In 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
