“Throne” takes the audience to the future, where The Dreamer is looking back at his climb to the kingdom of his success. He reflects on how much he has struggled and learned along the way to the top, and realizes that now that he is at the top, he still must struggle to maintain his success. But as he expresses by the end of the song, the dreaming never ends: his only direction is forward.
An inspirational end to an artistic look into what drives the human soul towards success, “Throne” shows that success, if we reach for it, is a never-ending journey that produces its own rewards along the way. This piano and orchestra heavy track provides a vision for the future of our protagonist — The Dreamer.

Verse 1
I done climbed, I done chased, I done dreamed the impossible Faced my nightmares and overcame all my obstacles
Kept pushing forward thru the tunnel in the cove
Reached the cliff then I dove, these are choices that I chose Behold, I will be the master of my destiny
Nothings beyond my reach all of this is a test to me A game to be played a king to be crowned
I will not falter and I won’t back down
Now this is my time to reach the top
No excuses no stops, give it all that I got
The ball won’t be dropped, can’t miss the last shot On my rise to the throne like the cream of the crop Is it not a goal to be the best you can be
To fight and not flee when it comes to your dreams For me this is the reason that I be
So watch me as I rise to my throne of dreams
Chorus
We’re living on the edge of the beam Looking on over the seas
Can’t help riding the breeze
Taking us to where we can be
I know I won’t ever believe
We’re reaching for impossible dreams We won’t stop til we see
We’re living on the throne of dreams
Verse 2
The journey doesn’t end once I’ve reached the top The obstacles grow and the pace is nonstop
But the reward of living my dream is all I got
For the pursuit of happiness I have not forgot
Plots to try and stop the rise of my stock
Haters ready to scream at any point if I drop
But whisper at the success of my spot at the top Pressure just keeps building my stomach turning to knots I will not allow any one to bring me down
Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown
It’s my cross to bear and I will bear it now
To maintain the dream has become my vow
This is what people fight and die for, stay alive for
Once they reach it, they want to keep it, that’s what we thrive for Poor, middle class, wealthy, it’s what we all strive for
My only direction is forward, my dream won’t be ignored
Chorus
We’re living on the edge of the beam Looking on over the seas
Can’t help riding the breeze
Taking us to where we can be
I know I won’t ever believe
We’re reaching for impossible dreams We won’t stop til we see
We’re living on the throne of dreams
Bridge
Repeat 4x
We’re gonna live for the moment
Die for the moment, Rise to the throne This is our dream and we’re the only ones that own it
Chorus
We’re living on the edge of the beam Looking on over the seas
Can’t help riding the breeze
Taking us to where we can be
I know I won’t ever believe
We’re reaching for impossible dreams We won’t stop til we see
We’re living on the throne of dreams
We’re living on the throne of dreams
