A song based on an actual experience...

Word, music, vocals, guitars, percussion: Mark Petruzzi. Lenny Lee on Bass.

Something a bit different from my usual acoustic fare. Several versions are up and coming including a cover by a good friend and accomplished musician, Lenny Lee...
I had a dream one night
That back in another life
I ruled in peace in a with a gentle hand...

I was teacher too
Leading my people through
The trials of life in troubled land

But cruel men of hateful mind
Plotting to ruin my kind
Soon would an angry army bring

And in this dream that night
All that I thought was mine
I lost in that time when I was king

Though I taught my people well...
Sadly my kingdom fell
Before we could finish what we'd begun

But now I've come back in time
And though a new name is mine
And I look different to everyone

I have more work to do
I'm going to see it through
I have a message yet to bring

And though I no longer rule
I know a thing or two
Back from time when I was king

I know it sounds crazy...like it can't be
More than a dream
...a dream that changed me...
When I was King...

I have more work to do
I'm going to see it through

From when I was King
When I was King...
When I was King...
