Maybe Anthony was just really happy cause he finally learned how to sing? Come on now, even their biggest fans gotta admit things like the opening of the Experience Music Project (its KAYlifwarniKAYshoooone...) were painful to listen to.

i'd say it's about how all the mistakes they've made in the past aren't a big deal. including in music, the first line says that. and "he knows everything" i guess is a reference to god, they have been getting more spiritual lately right? or maybe it's a sarcastic remark about himself, like something he would hear from his fans. his fans think he knows everything but really he's a "minor king" - people look up to him now for music, but he can't compare to people like mozart (second stanza). also... To read a mind you've got to Redefine the line to make your circle sing i don't really get that line... maybe like, you have to get to know people before judging them?

i sort of agree with cinnamon__spider, but i think the 'change the key from C to D' is just portraying a small change, using music as an example, it's what they do best
