The Hand Above the King - The World Was Ours to Take Lyrics

We sit in Sunday morning spiffs
We were raised like this
Just the same routine
Just sheltered boys with
All the good things

And all these things we had
Were never what we wanted
And what we wanted ever came
We only wanted more and more again

And in the sand we played
Just sheltered boys that weren't afraid
To take the jump, to waste our time
To sleep away the day

Oh...how they were such long days
Oh...At least we thought that they were
Oh...with all the scars that we made

We thought the world was ours to take

But in the end my friend
I guess not much has changed
All the same routines just
Scared men
With no one else to blame

And all the things we have
Are all we worked for
We try and try again
And then try again for more

And in the sand we played
Just sheltered boys that weren't afraid
To take the jump, to waste our time
To sleep away the day

Oh...how they were such long days
Oh...At least we thought that they were
Oh...with all the scars that we made

We thought the world was ours to take

But!

We took so long
To get where we are
Today
Yet haven't gone
Very far nahooo
We wasted lots time
On the way
To Becoming who
We are
And who we are
Is just okay yeah

Who we are
Is just okay yeah
Who we are
Is just okay
And just okay
That's good enough

Oh...how they were such long days
Oh...At least we thought that they were
Oh...with all the scars that we made

We thought the world was ours to take
