WHOSE THE RULER

3:42

Lyrics

Barefoot in sunlight Gold dust in my hair Laughing like the whole world Was floating somewhere No fear in my shadow No weight in my name Just wonder still burning Like a beautiful flame

Before the world Measured everything

Whose the ruler? Who holds the crown? The one above the people Or the child spinning round? Whose the ruler? Who holds the key? The one chasing power Or the soul still free? Cause joy has a kingdom Money never sees

I've seen heavy kings With restless eyes And children with nothing Still touching the sky Funny how innocence Still shines the most Like it remembers something The world almost lost Maybe power ain't control Maybe it's light

The stars never ask Permission to shine

Whose the ruler? Who owns the flame? The one guarding walls Or the heart unashamed? Whose the ruler? Maybe nobody Maybe life was never meant To belong completely Cause joy has a language Older than fear

I don't wanna grow so cold I forget the wind Forget the sound of wonder Living underneath my skin

Whose the ruler? Maybe the soul The part still dancing The part still whole Whose the ruler? Maybe the dream Still glowing softly Inside everything

Mmhh… The world keeps chasing crowns… While innocence… Chases light…
