Take Me to the World

Let me see the world with clouds

Take me to the world

Out where I can push through crowds

Take me to the world

A world that smiles

With streets instead of aisles

Where I can walk for miles with you

Take me to the world that’s real

Show me how it’s done

Teach me how to laugh, to feel

Move me to the sun

Just hold my hand whenever we arrive

Take me to a world where I can be alive

Him: The world is better here. I know I’ve seen them both.

Let me see the world that smiles Him: A poet doesn’t count for much out there

Take me to the world Him: We’d be cold and hungry in the winter

Somewhere I can walk for miles Him: A shabby room with cracked plaster

Take me to the world Him: You couldn’t get a job

With all around things growing in the ground Him: We’d end up hating each other.

We’d have fights. You’d cry.

Where birds that make a sound are birds

Let me see the world that’s real Him: I have seen the world

Show me how it’s done Him: And it’s mean and ugly

Teach me how to laugh, to feel Him: We could laugh together

Move me to the sun Him: Stay here with me

Just hold my hand whenever we arrive Him: Stay here. I love you. But we’re happy here

Let it be a world with you Him: Stay with me

Any other world with you

Take me to a world where I can be alive

Do you want the world ?

Well then, you shall have the world

Ask me for the world again

You shall have the world

A world of skies

That’s bursting with surprise

To open up your eyes for joy

We shall see the world come true

We shall have the world

I won’t be afraid with you

We shall have the world

You’ll hold my hand and know you’re not alone

You shall have the world to keep

Such a lovely world you’ll weep

We shall have the world forever for our own
