I'd Give It All For You (from Songs For A New World)

Once upon a time I had tides to control
 I had moons to spin
 And stars to ignite
 And they threw flowers at my feet
 When I walked through the town
 Once upon a time I had lives to protect
 I had rules to change
 And wrongs to set right
 And there were people at my side
 And there were rivers I could guide
 I wanted nothing in return
 Let me out of here
 Give me back all my dreams
 Let me out of here
 Let please see the sun
 Let me out of here
 At least tell me what I did wrong
 I'm king of the world
 Chief of the sea
 High in the wind
 At least I used to be
 And I'm king of the world
 Please set me free
 Let me remind them of my promise
 Live my given destiny
 Once upon a time I had fate in my hands
 And the confidence of a million regimes
 And they said, "Brother you're in charge
 We'll follow anything you say"
 Once upon a time Father said to me,
 "Child you are everything
 That you see in your dreams"
 And I thought, Jesus, that's the key
 There are no walls surrounding me
 There are no prisons in this life
 Let me out of here
 Give me back to the wind
 Let me out of here
 Let me please see my son
 Let me out of here
 Don't you understand who I am?
 I'm king of the world
 Chief of the sea
 High in the wind
 At least I try to be
 And I'm king of the world
 Please set me free
 I had the power and the promise
 Give me back my family
 Why are we punished for wanting to explore?
 Why am I sitting in this cell?
 I was not challenging the system
 I was working for the people
 I just wanted to be better
 Why are we punished for wanting to survive?
 Why am I locked behind these bars?
 Tell the children I'll return to them
 Tell them . . . Someone,
 Let them know I will be free
 I will not be defeated
 I will stand like a mountain
 And the road will stretch before me
 And they'll know it's time to follow
 And we'll lift our eyes
 And raise our heads
 And face the sun
 And tell the future
 I'm king of the world
 Land of the free
 High in the sky
 The best that I can be
 And I'm king of the world
 Watch and you'll see
 Nothing can stop me from tomorrow,
 Keep me from my destiny
 I'm king of the world
 I'm king of the world
 I'm . . . I'm . . .
 At least I used to be
