lyrics

When I open my eyes in the morning
Already know I’m behind
I feel my body is breaking down
Sometimes I wanna die

If you see a sweet wallflower
That’s just who I’ve been
But watch me lead and scream and be wild
Cause I’m not here to fit in

Oh I’m limitless
I know I’m limitless

I’m the king, it’s my kingdom
I can have and be anything
Nothing’s too big or too much for me
Create my power and love for me

I’m the king, it’s my kingdom
Do what I want, I get everything
Nothing’s too big or too much for me
I own my power and set me free

I am dancing and I’m in my power
Right now, and anytime I choose
I love my body, I hold myself
I know I never lose

Next step is for me alone
That’s the only true way home
So I’m gonna be with myself and love on me

I’m the king, it’s my kingdom
I can have and be anything
Nothing’s too big or too much for me
Create my power and love for me

I’m the king, it’s my kingdom
Do what I want, I get everything
Nothing’s too big or too much for me
I own my power and set me free

I’m on my throne, I’m givin’ myself all the credit
This is my tone, the truth is unapologetic
I let myself be bold, I’m built from solid gold. (Ooh yeah, oh yeah!)

I was wrong, to think I’d be happy staying small
I come on strong, now you see me I’m a wrecking ball
I love to blow my mind, I’ve got nothing to hide
I’m alive, I’m alive, I’m alive, I’m alive!

I’m the king, it’s my kingdom
I am GOD, I am everything
Nothing’s too big or too much for me
I love myself now and now I’m free

I’m the king, it’s my kingdom
I am GOD, I am everything
Nothing’s too big or too much for me
Create my power and love for me
Nothing’s too big or too much for me
I love myself now and now I’m free!
