King Of The Earth

Absolutely in love with this song King of The Earth by John Ondrasik from August Rush soundtrack. It is dream like, rich and chill out song. John is from Five for Fighting who have written tracks such as Superman.


For those who haven't seen the movie, it is a MUST watch. You will fall in love with the soundtrack even before you watched the show. A tale of a boy in search of his parents through music whom he believes that they are still alive somewhere. And it is music which brought his parents together, separated and united at last.

KING OF THE EARTH

I'm as crazy as clown tonight
a clown without a crown tonight
a simple sack of wishes and bones.
I'm as useless as a memory
the day before it came to me
to save your time stitches and stones

But once in my life
I was the king of the earth once in my life, I was.

I've flown horses on the skies above
that aint enough for you my love to fill
these empty castles with ghosts
I've married devils to their history
sood where you would bury me
through a time of statues and rows

But once in my life
I was the king of the Earth
Once in my life I was.

now that the stars have frozen
in their places all that
I've hold seems gone now
that the stars have fallen from their faces I will see you on
I'll never be your picture present
but I hope you go the rose I sent
to save your town of stitches and bones
I'm nothing more than a simple man
born to be american out to draw these bridges and motes

but once in my life I was the king of the Earth Once in my life...
