When I Was King (The NaNa Song)
My son picked up my guitar the other night and I was kinda amazed at the little tune he came up with….So I turned it into a song…This is our first collaboration.

NOW I HAD IT ALL
EXCEPT PRIDE BEFORE THE FALL
NOT ME
NO NOT ME
NANANA~NANANA~~NANANANA~~NAAA
YES I WAS THE KING
AND I HAD EVERYTHING
MY DESRIES
NEVER SATISFIED
(when I was king)
I LOVED LUST AND LIED
EVEN GOD I CRUCIFIED
CALL ME JUDAS
MY KISSES LIKE FINE WINE
YES I EARNED THE COIN
ALL THE GLORY WAS MY JOY
THIS KINGDOM I BUILT
TELL ME WHO WOULD DESTROY?
Litte children sing
NANANA~HEY~NANANA
WHEN I WAS KING
BACK WHEN I WAS KING
YES I HAD EVERYTHING
EXCEPT THE LOVE OF GOD
WHICH I HAD DESTROYED
(Back when I was King)
REAPING WHAT I HAD SOWN
SELFISH SEEDS BEGAN TO GROW
THE HARVEST
SURE WAS GOOD THIS YEAR
MY KINGDOM IT HAD ONE FLAW
CALL IT PRIDE BEFORE THE FALL
YES ME
OHH YES EVEN ME
Little children, singing
NANANA~HEY~NANANA
BACK WHEN I WAS KING
NANANA~HEY~NANANA
BACK WHEN I WAS KING
Back when I was king
Back when I was king
Very touching that song to Coleman, I agree made me want to cry. Seems like you are touched by the spirit of God, it shows in your music and lyrics. Loved it. Also loved the king song inspired by your son. Wanna try baked ziti at Rosebud sometime, alright you can have lasanga!
