Take the World by Storm (From the Netflix Film "the Monkey King")

(Instrumental)

Feeling weary?
Well, your oughta
'Cuz dwelling underwater isn't swell
Trust me, I know
You see, since birth I have fought a dermatology disorder
That has caused me sadness and woe, woe, woe
(Woe, woe, woe)
Whenever other kids saw me under the sun's rays
In no time they'd be calling me a freak or a raisin
(A freak or a raisin)
So I resigned myself to being left behind forever livin' in the H2O

But since then I've realized
There's nothing wrong with being moisturized
Why should I stay below the shore?
Second rate and inferior to the air-breathing
Land-walking sun kissers I despise?

So watch me rise up
Open the skies up
And take the world by storm
I'll flood the dry lands
Low and highlands
And take the world by storm

Every inch of the land, every part of the sky
Will be water when I transform it
So watch me rise up
Open the skies up
And take the world by storm

How did I come up with this plan?
Well

I was chillin' with the fish and my pillar sparked a vision
And BAM!
(BAM!)
I envisioned a plan
Now, I've created a machine to turn the world sub-marine
This demon dragon's gonna be the man, oh yeah

I'm sayin' see-ya-laters to all the haters and the dehydraters
To the land-walking, hair-growing, name-calling
Life-ruining, loneliness-inducing
Embarrassing-me-in-front-of-my-friends-and-family-doing
I mean
They're all gonna die!

So watch me rise up
Open the skies up
And take the world by storm
You'll quake and shiver
Well, cry me a river!
(He's taking the world by storm!)
Yes, I am!
For years, this un-phibian demon's been rehearsing a scheme
Now stand back, 'cuz I'm gonna perform it
And nobody will deny my power when I
Take the world by storm

(Scatting along)
No more sunshine, no more flowers
Only endless power showers
No more groundhogs or earthworms
And no more ruined frizzy perms
No more islands, no more nations
No more rain-checked invitations
No more sadness, no more crying
No more failed auditions drying up on the big final note
Ever again!

So watch me rise up
Open the skies up
And take the world by storm
(And take the world by storm)
I'm the top dragon
(And he ain't braggin'!)
No, I'm taking the world by storm

Fortune favors the brave, so baby, I'm making waves
So big they'll become the norm
So watch me rise up
(Our king will reign!)
Open the skies up
(He's makin' it rain!)
