[Verse] There’s a little man named Benjamin yea he’s got a plan Thinks he’s the boss of the world with his twitchy hand He talks real big like he’s lightning in control But inside his chest hides a trembling soul [Chorus] Oh Benjamin you strut like a king But fear’s the tune that makes your heart sing Crowned by shadows where you're afraid to stand Oh Benjamin the world's not in your hand [Verse 2] He clicks his tongue his words sharp like a blade His eyes dart quick like he’s always betrayed Cloaked in courage but it’s just for show He’s the emperor of doubt afraid to let it go [Chorus] Oh Benjamin your swagger’s a play An act to mask what you dare not say You rule with fear but you're scared of the rain Oh Benjamin your throne’s just made of pain [Bridge] From Paris streets to the countryside His shout echoes loud though he seeks to hide But no one can rule when they fear their own might Poor little Benjamin lost in the night [Chorus] Oh Benjamin you strut like a king But fear’s the tune that makes your heart sing Crowned by shadows where you're afraid to stand Oh Benjamin the world's not in your hand
