about

Sometimes I think we forget to realise that so many of the 'ordinary' things around us can bring wonderful pleasure and satisfaction to our lives;
sunshine on warm days, star-gazing, warm showers, flowers, holding hands, giving love, playing with children.

We are all indeed Kings (and Queens) of these ordinary things that can enrich our lives so beautifully.

We need to "Remember to take pleasure in the ordinary things".

lyrics

Verse
Pleased to meet you I'm the king,
A King with so few belongings,
No throne, no crown,
But my kingdom's all around.
Through the clutter I see my gold,
But it can’t be bought and sold,
I am not of royalty,
But my kingdom stretches as far as you can see.

Chorus
Cos I’m the king, king, king of ordinary things,
Yeah I’m the king, king, king of ordinary things.

Verse
I’ve got sunshine on warm days,
And at night I can look up and star gaze,
Pure bliss from my daily warm shower,
And my eyes are full of colour cos my street is full of flowers.
I know children they keep me full of play,
I’ve got music that’s within reach night and day,
I feel good any time I can sing,
Then there’s joy I get from just enjoying laughing.

Chorus
Cos I’m the king, king, king of ordinary things,
Yeah I’m the king, king, king of ordinary things.

Verse
I got hands I can hold,
I’ve got warm clothes for when I get cold,
I’ve got love that I choose to give,
And I’ve got friends who groan at my jokes and they keep me positive

Chorus
Yeah I’m the king, king, king of ordinary things,
I’m the king, king, king of ordinary things.

Bridge
So if you want to be a monarch too,
It’s not hard, it’s easy to do.
You don’t need money or riches or bling,
Just remember to take pleasure in the ordinary things, yeah.
Take pleasure in the ordinary things,
Feel the pleasure ordinary things can bring,
Yeah take pleasure in the ordinary things.

Chorus
Yeah I’m the king, king, king of ordinary things,
I’m the king, king, king of ordinary things.
