I am the World

Could you stop me whistling this broken tune
Say I’m the only one in this crowded room
Now tearing at me old hands on you
Your past digs in like a knife

Where we begin is where you end
When I’m resurrecting your skeletons
Air’s still unclean with old smoke on your breath
But I’ll steal you away from that
Steal you away from that

Repeat after me
You were nothing before this time
You were nothing before you were mine
All that you believe and all you think you’ve seen
Ain’t anything but a lie

Go on tell all the world how you want me more
Than every other heart that you stole before
That I am the one you’ve been searching for
And now you’ve finally arrived
Say hello to the rest of your life

Repeat after me…

I swear I can light you up, just follow my lead and I’ll fill in your view
And maybe you’ve been here before, but from here on in it’s only been me and you

Repeat after me…
