Intro

 

Verse 1

Well, the day has just begun and I'm already running late
With too many irons in the fire and too much on my plate
I'd be pulling out my hair if I could just get one hand free
And I'd stop this world if I could find the key

Chorus

What I feel
Is telling me I'm going crazy
But what is real
Says God's still on His throne 
What I need
Is to remember one thing
That the Lord of the gentle breeze is Lord of the rough and tumble 
And He is the King of the jungle    
Oh, yes He is   

Verse 2

People say this world's a jungle and sometimes I must admit
I'd be scared to death if I did not know who was king of it
But the truth is God created this whole world with His own hand
So everything is under His command

Chorus

And what I see
Is telling me this world's gone crazy
But what is real
Says God's still on His throne
What I need
Is to remember one thing
That the Lord of the gentle breeze is Lord of the rough and tumble 
And He is the King of the jungle

And He is the King of the jungle

Chorus

What I see
Is telling me this world's gone crazy
What is real
Says God's still on His throne
What I need
Is to remember one thing and that'll be
The Lord of the gentle breeze is Lord of the rough and tumble 
And He is the King of the jungle
