I had a dream on a bright sunny day
Along came a cloud that tried to get in the way
And I was born with all the love in the world in my heart
But the world came along and tried to tear it apart
I was born with a golden ring in my hand
But everything that I had slipped through my fingers like sand
I disappeared in the spark and a puff
I tried and I tried but it was never enough...
I had everything, riches and glory
The world's finest things belonged to me
I was everywhere, my courtyards and kingdoms
Spread as far as the eye could see
I had 12,000 horses, armies and generals
And a legion of servants that would hang
On every word that I'd say
I was someone once...I was King for a Day
But somehow the world I created
Wasn't such a great place to be
And just like the best of intentions and modern inventions
I created a catastrophe with nothing to believe in
A self-imposed tragedy ...
So, tell me what do you believe in?
There's a place in your mind that can never be stolen
There's a place in your heart that can never be broken
Did you sell your soul, to purchase your glory?
Do you think that was the price that you have to pay?
Jack of Diamonds, it's a game that you play
I had a dream on a bright sunny day
Whatever it's worth…I was King for a Day
But I lost everything, my riches and glory
it all became worthless to me
I could not find it anywhere, the meaning of life
Though I searched from sea to shining sea
How I squandered my kingdom, over and over
Until I was left with just the breath in my lungs
and the blood in my veins
I was someone once..I was King for a Day
