Chorus:

Close my eyes as I fall

thinking "I showed 'em all!
they can't take this away from me now,from me now


Hear them all cheer for him
singing LONG LIVE THE KING
they can't take this away

they can't take this away
from me now...



Yes, feel like I'm fresh out the bonfire
heart of a lion, ironfists of a scarred fighter

part tiger, glowing eyes of a darksider
as I balance on a barbed wire through the hard times


persistent and patient
dressed up in confidence, twisted and crazy
the kids tell the tale of a renegade spirit

they all thought went away, but he never did, did he?

nah, I'm still here and my vision's still alive

I've already been to Oz, looked the wizard in the eyes
like I know I've got a heart but something's missing in my life
so my eyes pointed up, blowing kisses at the sky


as I dedicate this to all my angels who never made it
and say a prayer for the brave ones who kept the flame lit

through our darkest hours and toss some flowers
inspired by their journey, we embark on ours...
Yeah!


Chorus



No matter what they tell ya this is really me
trying to hold my own, in a town where they won't let you breathe

where loyalty means a guillotine
and they even pick our pennies out the wishing well just to kill our dreams


always trying to make sure my confidence wearing thin
like the DEA, they don't want to see the hero win
but I still get up on that stage like I don't fear a thing

try to keep me on the ground, (*##$, I'll grow a pair of wings

and spread 'em wide, flying high over the city

where people still look down on me like I don't really fit in
BUT
I don't give a %#@! though, wouldn't mind getting grimey

so give me your best competitor, I'll show you where to find me
and if I ever fail I just pray that I did
what I could, put a smile on the face of my kids

told my wife that I loved her everyday, that I'll live
for her love eternally, all rise for the king...
Now...
