Verse 1
See kids you’re only King for a day,
On top of the world then the world moves away,
To stay close to the glow of bigger flames,
Same game chasing limelight only leads to pain,
I’m serious, others delirious,
Thinking they can maintain exterior frame,
For an indefinite period,
But the shine on the outside is by its very nature inferior,
Interior parts, in particular heart,
Are what characterizes caricatures and fake disguises,
So lets pick apart the ties that bind us,
Expose lies in various guises
Ride rhythms in tempos so timeless,
Singing soul songs that serve to remind us,
That blindness extends to more then the iris,
And what the world can’t see, has worth that is priceless
Chorus
You’re only king for a day,
Then it all falls away,
So why waste your time
Chasing things, that you can’t take away
Verse 2
It seems like we simply cant afford it,
See it come to us for free but then we simply abort it,
Absorb it and take it all in,
When its too much to carry, a merry heart is like a medicine,
Let them in, everyone that’s been pushed away,
Its inconvenient? I’ve seen it in the worst way,
What does the verse say? What does it profit a man?
We’re like dust in the wind, building our castles in the sand,
Understand, we’re not a brand,
We’re not stocks and bonds or pensions plans,
Expensive and costly is the grief,
They want to put a price on love but it only seems cheap,
Reach beneath, like into the water,
And find the treasure in somebody, it goes much further,
I hear a murmur and it sounds like a voice from the deep,
Its says we worthy to speak, surely to keep.
