    Video at VEVO (31 March 2015)
* I say I rule the world. Don't cloud my vision I'm telling you — not today 'Cause I'm seeing straight. Made my decision. Made it through the shades of grey, Made it my own way. I materialize the feeling To carry on, to carry on I know some would say I'm dreaming But I carry on, I carry on, on.
* They say "no way", well, I say "I rule the world." Ain't afraid of the walls, Imma break 'em down. They stay the same — well I'm feelin' high as a bird. Ain't afraid of the ground — I'm a standing.I say yeah, yeah, yeah, they say no, no, no, they say slow, slow, slow, I say go, go, go — They say "no way" I say I rule the world.
* I've chased illusion And I watched them fade to black Throwing me off-track. Found Revolution. Found it in a simple fact. I ain't coming back.
