In tupelo, mississippi i was born With mamma's prayers And daddy's love, i carried on Here he comes, the king of rock 'n ' roll The whole world knew me by my song I'm alive and i'm king Yes, you know me Glory, glory, hallelujah Some say i lived, some say i died Some can't count the tears they cried I'm a alive and i'm a king Yes you know me And through it all, i stood tall Glory, glory, hallelujah All the stage is bare I'm still standing there With emptiness all around And the curtain calls I'm standing tall I'm now complete You know me You recall, when i said i'll never leave And i pledge my heart will always be True I'm going sing like i do, always Never was a victim of the stage I'm alive and i'm a king Yes, you know me And through it all, i stood tall Don't you know, i did it my way And the stage is bare I'm still standing there With emptiness all around And the curtain calls I'm standing tall I'm now complete You know me At last, i'm free Yes, you know me You know me You know me
