East

I set out to rule the world
 With only a paper shield and a wooden sword
 
 No mountain dare stand in my way
 Even the oceans tremble in my wake
 
 The tide is brave, but always retreats
 Even the sand, it cowers under my feet
 My kingdom towers above it all
 While I sleep safe and sound in my cardboard walls
 ♪
 Now I bear little resemblance to the king I once was
 I bear little resemblance to the king I could become
 Maybe paper is paper, maybe kids will be kids
 Lord, I want to remember how to feel like I did
 ♪
 So I draw my sword with the morning sun
 I summon the moon as soon as the day is done
 
 The clouds march on, on my command
 Even the rain, it falls according to plan
 
 The trees bow down and give their leaves
 I humbly accept their offerings of peace
 ♪
 The years wore on and changed my heart
 The leading role for a smaller part
 Now I bear little resemblance to the king I once was
 I bear little resemblance to the king I could become
 Maybe paper is paper, maybe kids will be kids
 But Lord, I want to remember how to feel like I did
 'Cause I bear little resemblance to the king I once was
 I bear little resemblance to the king I could become
 Maybe paper is paper, maybe kids will be kids
 But Lord, I want to remember how to feel like I did
