Coldplay - Champion Of The World (Official Video)

I tried my best to be just like

The other boys in school

I tried my best to get it right

And died in every duel

This mountainside is suicide!

This dream will never work!

Still this sign upon my headstone write:

A champion of the world

I tried my best to stay alight

Fly like a firework

I tried my best at taking flight

But my rocket ship reversed

Oh referee don’t stop the fight!

Everyone can see I’m hurt

But I’ll stand before conquistadors

Til I’m champion of the world

When I sail,

And when I sail, I’m sailing west

I might fail

Knowing I might fail but still I’m hoping for the best

In my dreams,

And in my dreams, onto my chest

She'll pin the colours and say:

“I wandered the whole wide world but

Baby you’re the best”

So I’m flying on my bicycle

Heading upwards from the Earth

I am jumping with no parachute

Out into the universe

I have E.T. on my bicycle

Because giving up won’t work

I am riding on my rocket ship

And I’m champion of the world
