[Intro – Spoken or soft sung over ambient melody] I had nothing once... No name, no power, no place in this world. But I dreamed... And I climbed. --- [Verse 1] Started out with empty pockets, broken shoes and shattered pride Built my name on sweat and fire, never let the dream subside I chased the gold, I chased the crown But somewhere up there… I lost what counts --- [Pre-Chorus] And now I'm standing on a mountain With a view that's cold and wide They all cheer and call me king But there’s still a hole inside... --- [Chorus – Drop into melodic instrumental with anthemic energy] I'm the king of the world, but I’d give it away Every diamond and dollar, every palace I made For a heart that is full, for a soul that is free I gave it all back… to finally find me Now they sing my name, not for gold or for fame But because I gave love... and I’m free from the game --- [Verse 2] I walked the halls of power, made the mighty kneel and bow But silence filled my golden room, no joy would ever stay around So I gave to those forgotten Let the light in where it’s darkened And I saw in their eyes what I’d lost on the way A reason to wake, a reason to pray --- [Pre-Chorus] No more nights behind the curtain No more lies dressed up in pride Now the world sees more than riches They see the man I tried to hide --- [Chorus – Bigger drop, with layered vocals and instrumental punch] I'm the king of the world, but I’d trade it all still For a smile that’s real, for a heart that feels I gave it all back, to the ones most in need And I found my own peace… in planting that seed Now they sing my name, not for power or gold But for kindness and truth… and a story retold --- [Bridge – stripped back, emotional build] No throne can hold you when you're empty inside No walls can protect from the tears that you hide But love… love can rebuild And giving… giving can heal --- [Final Chorus – Uplifting, euphoric drop with full instrumental break] I'm the king of the world, but I gave up the crown To lift up the fallen, to turn lives around I found what I lost, in the hearts that I touched And that kind of love... it's more than enough Now they sing my name, from the mountains to sea Not 'cause I ruled them… but because I set them free --- [Outro – Soft, fading] I had everything... Now I have peace.

King of the World
