Lyrics
As a young boy daddy used to tell me stories
Reflecting on childhood memories, the speaker recalls stories from their father.
Do your thing my son the world is yours
Encouragement from the father to pursue one's own path, implying limitless possibilities.
The winds of fury will lead to paths of glory
Emphasizing that challenges (winds of fury) can lead to great achievements (paths of glory).
Take it in your stride my son the world is yours
Advice to face challenges confidently, reinforcing the idea that the world is full of opportunities.
You can only find the gold by digging in the dirt
Metaphorically, success requires effort and perseverance ("digging in the dirt" for gold).
If your gonna play with fire,then you're gonna get burnt
Warning about the consequences of risky actions, using the metaphor of playing with fire.
You can never reach the heights and avoid the hurt yeah
Acknowledging that reaching great heights involves experiencing pain and difficulties.
The world is yours
Reiteration that the world is full of opportunities and possibilities.
As a young boy daddy used to tell me stories
Repetition of the childhood memories and encouragement to pursue one's passions.
Do your thing and sing the world is yours
Encouragement to express oneself through actions like singing, with the world at one's disposal.
The winds of fury pave the way to paths of glory
Continuation of the idea that challenges lead to glory and success.
Keep your self onside ny son and the world is yours
Advice to stay true to oneself to claim the world's opportunities.
Yeah you might have it all but you'll still want more
Despite having material wealth, the desire for more remains.
There's a law for the rich and another for the poor
Highlighting societal disparities and the existence of different rules for the rich and poor.
There's a golden key unlock all the doors
Symbolizing a universal solution or opportunity with the concept of a golden key.
And the world is yours
Reiteration of the idea that the world offers limitless possibilities.
The world is yours
Repetition emphasizing the accessibility of the world and its opportunities.
The world is yours,the world is yours
Emphasizing and reinforcing the idea that the world is open and available.
There's a time and a place for everything
Stating the importance of timing and appropriateness in life's endeavors.
Not a man alive you owe a thing
Asserting self-reliance, suggesting no debts owed to others.
From the stars in the sky to the ocean floor the world is yours
Expanding the vastness of the world from the stars to the ocean floor, signifying boundless opportunities.
The world is yours
Repetition emphasizing the availability of the world and its possibilities.
The world is yours, the world is yours
Reiteration of the idea that the world is open and accessible.
People say they're never gonna turn away
Commenting on people's promises to stay loyal, contrasting with their actual actions.
And then when it comes on top
Anticipating difficult situations and the tendency of some to turn away when challenges arise.
They'll be first to turn their backs away
Expectation that some individuals will be quick to abandon loyalty when faced with adversity.
First whose heads are gonna drop
Suggesting that those who were initially supportive may be the first to distance themselves.
First to slowly fade away
Anticipation that some will fade away and forget their commitments.
So remember all your days the world is yours and all the world contains
Encouragement to remember the vastness of the world and its contents throughout one's life.
Well you might have it all but you'll still want more
Despite possessing wealth, the desire for more persists.
There's a law for the rich and another for the poor
Highlighting societal disparities again, emphasizing different rules for the rich and poor.
There's a golden key unlocks all the doors
Reiteration of a universal solution or opportunity with the metaphor of a golden key.
And the world is yours, the world is yours
Reinforcement that the world and its opportunities belong to everyone.
The world is yours, the world is yours
