Rising Kingdom

I've lost track of times I've looked back
A happy face, a better place without disgrace (Without disgrace)
I try to think of when it was
What set it off, was it because
I aimed too high, had too much greed?
I reached for things I didn't need (Need, need, need)

(Oh, ooh-woah, ooh-woah)
(Oh, ooh-woah, ooh-woah)

Be careful what you wish for, my friend
Kingdoms often fall in the end
Heed the words of those who are wise
'Cause with some luck, your kingdom may rise
(Kingdom may rise)

I don't know when, we'll meet again
The future's blind, your fate and mine intertwined
A life as king, a step too far
I burned too bright, a shooting star
I paid the price, I failed the test
For what it's worth, I tried my best

(Oh, ooh-woah, ooh-woah)
(Kingdom may rise)
(Oh, ooh-woah, ooh-woah)

Be careful what you wish for, my friend
Kingdoms often fall in the end
Heed the words of those who are wise
'Cause with some luck your kingdom may rise
(Kingdom may rise)

I've made mistakes and suffered heartaches
But through it all, the rise and fall
A life well lived, that's what I'd say
Wish I could fight just one more day
But I know I haven't won, when all is said, and all is done
In spite of all the pain it brings, I wouldn't change a single thing

(Oh, ooh-woah, ooh-woah)
(Oh, ooh-woah, ooh-woah)

Be careful what you wish for, my friend
Kingdoms often fall in the end
Heed the words of those who are wise
'Cause with some luck, your kingdom may rise

(Oh, ooh-woah, ooh-woah) (Kingdom may rise)
(Oh, ooh-woah, ooh-woah)
(Kingdom may rise)

(Ah-oh, ah-oh-oh-oh, ah-oh, ah-oh-oh-oh)
(Ah-oh, ah-oh-oh-oh, ah-oh, ah-oh-oh-oh)
