Now everything's gone my way
I'm a king among men
I did what the people say
With the sword, not the pen

All of my life
All of my life
All of my life
I gave it away
All of my life
All of my life
All of my life
I gave it away
Threw it all away

I constitute all that's left
The brave and the wild
All gone to seek endless rest
Their sleep unspoiled

All of my life
All of my life
All of my life
I gave it away
All of my life
All of my life
All of my life
I gave it away

And now the water falls
The mountain calls
I'd give you all of these
For now the war is won
And I am done
No use am I in peace, peace

All of my life
All of my life
All of my life
All of my life
I gave it away
All of my life
All of my life
All of my life
All of my life
I gave it away

Ooh, lord, I threw it all away
Now at last I can understand
Why I am alone
I recognise not this land
My eyes have grown old
They've grown old

All of my life
All of my life
All of my life
All of my life
Well, I pushed
All of my life
All of my life
All of my life
All of my life
I gave it away
Ooh, I threw it all away

And now the water falls
The mountain calls
I'd give you all of these
For now the war is won
And I am done
No use am I in peace, peace

All of my life
