Thrive

The crown that sits upon your head
Is made of grass and weeds
The scepter you hold up in your stead
Convinces you that you'll succeed 
Your kingdom thrives, just in your mind
You're no real majesty
But still you sit upon that throne
And grin so all can see

That throne you sit upon all day
Its that stump cut years ago
Your subjects are the flowers of May 
And the trees that bow real slow
Your kingdom thrives, and so do you
In this place all to yourself
You boldly sit and face the woods
No ragdoll on a shelf

The woods are where you feel at home 
This kingdom made just for you
Though it's just you, you're not alone
There are birds and squirrels, too
Your kingdom thrives, you are at peace
You won't fight, you won't burn or drown 
You're stronger now than ever before
Nothing in the world can knock you down
