Lyrics
I am the world, I'm the boys and the girls
I am encompassing the entirety of humanity, representing both genders.
I'm the dads on the grind, paying rent, punching time
I represent working fathers striving to make ends meet and fulfill responsibilities.
I'm the guy on TV, saying, 'Jesus is near'
I'm the public figure advocating the presence of spirituality or faith.
I'm the man in the cell, I'm his courage and fear
I'm the incarcerated individual embodying both bravery and fear.
I'm the trust that you give and the honor you lose
I'm the reliance given and the respect lost.
I'm the future you change every moment you choose
I symbolize the future altered by every decision made.
I'm the now and the never when you got no more time
I am the present and the absence when time runs out.
I'm the dream that is rising in the back of your mind
I'm the aspiration emerging in the subconscious.
I'm the sickness and cure, I'm polluted and pure
I am both the ailment and the remedy, the corrupted and the untainted.
Baby, I am the world and I'm yours
I am the world, belonging to you.
I'm the joy in the air at the birth of your child
I represent the elation of new life and the pressure to succeed for parental approval.
And the pressure to win so your father will smile
I embody authority figures and their expectations.
I am the King, I'm the Czar, I'm the Pope
I symbolize different levels of authority and influence.
I'm your finest good deeds and your worst dirty jokes
I encompass both your noble actions and your crude humor.
I'm the air that you breathe when you got no more steam
I am the sustenance when energy dwindles.
I'm the people you trust, I'm the people who leave
I'm the trustworthy individuals and those who depart.
I'm the now and the never when you got no more time
I am the present and the absence when time runs out.
I'm the dream that is rising in the back of your mind
I'm the dream growing in the recesses of your thoughts.
I'm the sickness and cure, I'm polluted and pure
I am both the ailment and the remedy, the corrupted and the untainted.
Baby, I am the world and I'm yours
I am the world, belonging to you.
I am the sun and the darkest of nights
I represent extremes, from brightness to darkness.
I am choice to the left, I am death to the right
I embody choices that lead to different outcomes, life or death.
I'm the dull of the blues and the sting of the bruise
I am the numbness of sadness and the pain of injury.
I am with you for good, I'm the world, I'm the rules
I am your constant companion, the structure, and the regulations.
I'm the now and the never when you got no more time
I am the present and the absence when time runs out.
I'm the dream that is rising in the back of your mind
I'm the aspiration growing in the recesses of your thoughts.
I'm the sickness and cure, I'm polluted and pure
I am both the ailment and the remedy, the corrupted and the untainted.
Baby, I am the world and I'm yours
I am the world, belonging to you.
I am the world, I am the world
I am the world, encompassing all.
I am the world, I am the world
