It never rained, the
Sun was always shining
Every traffic light
Was always green
There was a time when
Every door was open
The universe was mine
Or so it seemed
Ever roll was seven or eleven
That it would ever
End never crossed my mind
I was flying higher
Than the Heavens
Back when the
World was mine

[CHORUS:]
Sometimes a man can't see
When he has it all
Take a look at me
Oh how he mighty fall
Once I ruled the earth
Once upon a time
When I had your love
When the world was mine

Oh the changes
I'd make if
I had the power
How could
I have so much
And be so blind
But at least for
A bright and
Shining moment
I had you, and
The world was mine

[Repeat chorus]

Once I ruled the earth
Once upon a time
When I had your love
That's when
The world was mine
When I had your love
That's when
The world was mine
