Oh yeah yeah
Yeah
It never rained, the sun was always shinin'
And every traffic light was always green
There was a time when every door was open
And the universe was mine, or so it seemed
Every roll is seven or eleven
That it would ever end never crossed my mind
I was flyin' higher than the heavens
Back when the world was mine
Sometimes a man can't see when he has it all
Take a look at me, oh how the mighty fall
Once I ruled the earth, once upon a time
When I had your love
That's when the world was mine
Oh-woah… mmm…
Oh the changes I'd make if I had the power [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
Sometimes a man can't see when he has it all
Take a look at me, oh how the mighty fall
Once I ruled the earth, once upon a time
When I had your love
That's when the world was mine
Woah-ooh
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
Woah-ooh
That's when the world was mine
Oh-oh…
[Once I ruled the earth, once upon a time]
[When I had your love] when I had your love
[That's when the world was mine] yeah yeah-yeah
[Once I ruled the earth] once I ruled the earth
[Once upon a time] once upon a time
[When I had your love, that's when the world was mine]
[Once I ruled the earth, once upon a time]
[When I had your love] yeah-yeah
[That's when the world was mine]
[That's when the world was mine]
[When the world was mine] yeah
