After a year of touring, GRIFFIN returned to School, moving to Nashville to attend Middle Tennessee State University to once again major in Music Industry. After another few years, GRIFFIN made another move, this time to Los Angeles. For the past few years GRIFFIN has lived, worked, performed, written, and recorded in and around the LA area.
GRIFFIN - performing his original song, "King Of The World", live at Cal Sate University TV Studios.
SOME SAY I'M AN ARTIST - SOME SAY THAT I, JUST, CAN'T DRAW AT ALL.
SOME SAY I'M A BUILDING - OR JUST A BRICK IN THE WALL.
SOME SAY I'M A POET - SOME SAY THAT I, JUST, CAN'T WRITE AT ALL.
SOME SAY I'M THE WEALTHY PRINCE - OR JUST A MAN AT THE BALL.
AND WHAT MY HEART BELIEVES, IS WHAT MY EYES CAN SEE.
AND ALL I SEE ARE THINGS I CANNOT BELIEVE.
IF I WERE THE KING OF THE WORLD, TELL ME, WHAT WOULD YOU SAY?
IF I WERE JUST A SIMPLE MAN, WOULD I BE THE SAME?
SOME SAY THAT I'M UGLY - SOME SAY THAT LOOKS ARE ALL THAT I HAVE.
SOME SAY I AM FIRST IN LINE - OR NOT MUCH MORE THAN THAT.
SOME SAY I'M A WINNER - SOME SAY THAT I'M THERE TO TAKE THE FALL.
SO, WHAT WOULD YOU SAY TO ME, IF YOU KNEW ME AT ALL?
WHAT MY HEART BELIEVES, ARE THINGS MY EYES CAN SEE.
AND ALL I SEE ARE THING I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE.
IF I WERE THE KING OF THE WORLD, TELL ME, WHAT WOULD YOU SAY?
IF I WERE JUST A SIMPLE MAN, WOULD I BE THE SAME?
YOU LIFT ME UP WITH PROMISES. SPIN ME AROUND WITH PRAISE.
THEN LET ME FALL STRAIGHT TO THE GROUND.
IF I WERE THE KING OF THE WORLD, TELL ME, WHAT WOULD YOU SAY?
IF I WERE JUST A SIMPLE MAN, WOULD I BE THE SAME?
"PEOPLE ARE WHAT THEY DO - NOT WHAT THEY SAY THEY DO"
"ACTIONS ALWAYS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS"
