Here’s to Billy, he sits in his own chair
He looks at his family and he looks like his siblings
It’s late in the evening and everybody’s walking home
But Billy just rolls along, cause that’s the way he moves
He couldn’t get up now, even if he wanted too
He sits in his own chair and he sets his mind loose
Looks at his mother, says “It’s easy to see me if you open your eyes and…”
Crown me, Crown me, Crown me
Crown me king for a day
Crown me, Crown me, Crown me
Crown me king and I’ll fly away
They say he’s a dreamer cause he’s not much of a runner
Well it’s a back handed complement, but he gets it all too well
And he doesn’t mind when his mind starts to wander off
To brighter places on a million pages, he’s read them all
And he sets his mind down on pen and paper
Says that’s his release it’s how he sets his dreams free
Looks at his father and says “It’s easy to believe me when you open your eyes and…
Crown me, Crown me, Crown me
Crown me king for a day
Crown me, Crown me, Crown me
Crown me king and I’ll fly away
Now his name’s on the covers next to written by
They all knew he’s be an author but they didn’t know
That the boy would lay it down ‘till the day he died
He looks at the world says “It’s easy to get me when you open your eyes and…
Crown me, Crown me, Crown me
Crown me king for a day
Crown me, Crown me, Crown me
Crown me king and I’ll fly away
