Select language to translate this lyric
I was running down the stairs
I had to fill my lungs with air
I would have shouted to high heavens
if I only had the word
And I was, I was the King of the world
And then I laid you here across my breast
You sighed then you came to rest
About the size of my underarm
Just about the weight of a bird
And I was, I was the King of the world
Time is a brute
With claws we get caught between
You'll get older and you'll look at me
And I know it may not seem
Like on an august afternoon
I left your mom and you in that room
And I was running down the stairs
had to fill my lungs with air
In an empty parking lot
I was dancing on the spot
I was, I was the King of the world
Before you had ten hours
and long before a name
You had a gaze so penetrating
I felt both proud and ashamed
But the wow was my best shot
and in that empty parking lot
I had the past on my shoulders
But the future left to my choice
I felt the weight of life's promise
And then I heard my father's voice
Saying a baby girl
Now you go be the King of the World
