Cement and steel frames
Don’t mean too much to me
For nothing ever rivals The sound of sweet melody
I’d trade it all for music
Business meetings for a stage
A fountain pen for a mic in hand
Yes, that seems fair to me
The freedom to make love and music
That’s the freedom of a king
What's worth the fight
Bright ideas just a dead end streetlight
What's born innate, left idle never sits right
Found it when I was 16, lied to myself till I was 19
Didn’t want to wake at 50 and ask What have I done
The freedom to make love and music
That’s the freedom of a king
Dreams are what you chase
Dreams are what you keep safe
Seems they're the first to break
When you shouldn’t have waited
Do what you love, for love is what leads to happiness
And that’s all we really want in the end
The day will come
When my son will ask me
If he can chase his pipe dream
A throne of his own
And I’ll fear for him Like all parents do
But tell him it’s not up to me
It’s up to you
The freedom to make love and music
That’s the freedom of a king
Dreams are what you chase
Dreams are what you keep safe
Seems they're the first to break
When you shouldn’t have waited
Do what you love, for love is what leads to happiness
And that’s all we really want in the end
I might be crazy, but I’m strumming
My fate may seem insane
But I won't sign my life away
Oh no
I arrived on a sailing ship
From a land not far from here
My father was the king and I was born
To carry on his legacy
My father said that one day his kingdom
Would all be mine to keep
But I declined with an innocent smile
Because I know it’s not my dream
