King Lyrics - Singles - Doug Locke

VERSE 1: 

When I was younger I walked with my head down 

Taught to hide what I believe 

Everyday was a struggle on the battleground (the battleground, the battleground) 

Words like daggers used to cut me down 

Now I wear my scars proudly 

As my blue heart beats in this red town, strongly... 

PRE-CHORUS: 

I don't wanna pretend 

No longer wanna fit in 

I won't hide behind a lie 

Made up my mind 

That I'm a King (King, King) 

Decorated in my own skin (Yeah) 

I finally believe in 

A light I was forced to hide 

But I survived 

Cause I'm a King (King, King) 

CHORUS: 

I... I'm not giving up, giving up 

And I... won't stop giving love, giving love 

I won't bow down for a mindless crowd 

I shine as I wear this crown, Yeah 

I... I'm a King, (King, King) 

VERSE 2: 

You attack my pride 

Light the fire inside 

My heart will keep on burning away 

Locked me in your tomb 

It became my cocoon 

And now, I'm gonna fly (I'm gonna fly) 

PRE-CHORUS: 

I don't wanna pretend 

No longer wanna fit in 

I won't hide behind a lie 

Made up my mind 

That I'm a King (King, King) 

Decorated in my own skin (Yeah) 

I finally believe in 

A light I was forced to hide 

But I survived 

Cause I'm a King (King, King) 

CHORUS: 

I... I'm not giving up, giving up (I'm not giving up) 

And I... won't stop giving love, giving love (I won't stop, won't stop) 

I won't bow down for a mindless crowd 

I shine as I wear this crown, Yeah 

I... I'm a King, (King, King) 

BRIDGE: 

Never let them break you down 

Never let them take your crown 

Your love, 

Is love... 

Never let them break you down 

Never let them take your crown 

Your love, 

Is love... 

CHORUS: 

I... I'm not giving up, giving up (I'm not giving up) 

And I... won't stop giving love, giving love (I won't stop, won't stop) 

I won't bow down for a mindless crowd 

I shine as I wear this crown, Yeah 

I... I'm a King, (King, King) 

BRIDGE & CHORUS: 

I... I'm not giving up, giving up (I'm not giving up) 

And I... won't stop giving love, giving love (I won't stop, won't stop) 

I won't bow down for a mindless crowd 

I shine as I wear this crown, Yeah 

I... I'm a King, (King, King)
