Rising Kingdom

I've lost track

Of times I've looked back

A happy face

A better place without disgrace (without disgrace)

I try to think of when it was

What set it off, was it because

I aimed too high, had too much greed?

I reached for things I didn't need

Oh-whoa-whoa

Oh-whoa-whoa

Be careful what you wish for, my friend

Kingdoms often fall in the end

Heed to the words of those who are wise

'Cause with some luck your kingdom may rise

(Kingdom may rise)

I don't know when

We'll meet again

The future's blind

Your fate and mine intertwined

A life as king, a step too far

I burned too bright, a shooting star

I paid the price, I failed the test

For what it's worth, I tried my best

Oh-whoa-whoa

Oh-whoa-whoa

Be careful what you wish for, my friend

Kingdoms often fall in the end

Heed the words of those who are wise

'Cause with some luck your kingdom may rise

(Kingdom may rise)

I've made mistakes and suffered heartaches

But through it all, the rise and fall

A life well lived, that's what I'd say

Wish I could fight just one more day

But I know I haven't won

When all is said and all is done

In spite of all the pain it brings

I wouldn't change a single thing

Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

Be careful what you wish for, my friend

Kingdoms often fall in the end

Heed the words, of those who are wise

'Cause with some luck your kingdom may rise

Oh-whoa-whoa (kingdom may rise)

Oh-whoa-whoa (kingdom may rise)

Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
