When I was a knight of old, I was ever trying to be bold I came tumbling down, so I'll never conquer you That is something I could never do When I was a poor young lad, I tried hard not to be bad I came tumbling down, they'll never capture me I was born to be free When I was just a little boy, I treated people like they were toys Now that I'm not quite a man, I try to do things just the best that I can I step into the light When I was king of the land, I had towers like grains of sand They came tumbling down, and now they've returned to earth Oh you tell me what are they worth When I was a charming man, I always tried to have a plan It came tumbling down, and I know you're not amused I just couldn't be true When I was just a little boy, I treated people like they were toys Now that I'm not quite a man, I try to do things just the best that I can I step into the light I step into the light I step into the light
