King of Time Lyrics
[Intro]
*Whistling*
[Verse 1]
I've been thinkin’ about the way
I think about my thinkin'
I have a feeling that
Our little boat is sinkin'
I don’t know any more
What it is she sees in me
Maybe the promise of
The man I used to be
Somewhere long ago we lost our way
Stop the clock and start again
[Pre-Chorus]
If I could freeze the Sun in the sky
I could go back in time
If I could only go back to that day
Maybe we'll find our way
[Chorus]
King of Time
(Wolibamba ilanga lingashoni)
(Wolibamba ilanga)
(Wolibamba ilanga lingashoni)
(Wolibamba ilanga)
King of Time
(Wolibamba ilanga lingashoni)
Hold the line
(Wolibamba ilanga)
She'll be mine
(Wolibamba ilanga lingashoni)
We'll be fine
(Wolibamba ilanga)

[Verse 2]
She remembers things
I said long ago
We're trapped in the past
The future won't flow
If I could travel back in time
Your heart would never break
Change the past and
Fix my mistake
We could wake up to a brand new day
Whistling our troubles away
[Pre-Chorus]
If I could speak to the King of Time
He could erase and rewind
If I could only go back to that day
Maybe we'll find our way
[Chorus]
King of Time
(Wolibamba ilanga lingashoni)
(Wolibamba ilanga)
(Wolibamba ilanga lingashoni)
(Wolibamba ilanga)
King of Time
(Wolibamba ilanga lingashoni)
Hold the line
(Wolibamba ilanga)
She'll be mine
(Wolibamba ilanga lingashoni)
(Wolibamba ilanga)

[Bridge]
Putting on my thinking cap
Dreaming of my victory lap
Looking for the mother lode
Hoping my head don’t explode
My crazy ballerina
Loves the Zulu concertina
Dancing through my memories
Man, you should have seen her
[Coda]
King of Time
(Wolibamba ilanga lingashoni)
(Wolibamba ilanga)
(Wolibamba ilanga lingashoni)
(Wolibamba ilanga)
King of Time
(Wolibamba ilanga lingashoni)
Hold the line
(Wolibamba ilanga)
She’ll be mine
(Wolibamba ilanga lingashoni)
(Wolibamba ilanga)
King of Time
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
King of Time
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
I give it all up
Oh-oh-oh-oh
I give it all up for you
Oh-oh-oh
I give it all up
Oh-oh-oh-oh
I give it all up for you
Oh-oh-oh
