I am the world, I'm the boys and the girls
I'm the dads on the grind, paying rent, punching time
I'm the guy on TV, saying, 'Jesus is near'
I'm the man in the cell, I'm his courage and fear

I'm the trust that you give and the honor you lose
I'm the future you change every moment you choose

I'm the now and the never when you got no more time
I'm the dream that is rising in the back of your mind
I'm the sickness and cure, I'm polluted and pure
Baby, I am the world and I'm yours

I'm the joy in the air at the birth of your child
And the pressure to win so your father will smile
I am the King, I'm the Czar, I'm the Pope
I'm your finest good deeds and your worst dirty jokes

I'm the air that you breathe when you got no more steam
I'm the people you trust, I'm the people who leave

I'm the now and the never when you got no more time
I'm the dream that is rising in the back of your mind
I'm the sickness and cure, I'm polluted and pure
Baby, I am the world and I'm yours

I am the sun and the darkest of nights
I am choice to the left, I am death to the right
I'm the dull of the blues and the sting of the bruise
I am with you for good, I'm the world, I'm the rules

I'm the now and the never when you got no more time
I'm the dream that is rising in the back of your mind
I'm the sickness and cure, I'm polluted and pure
Baby, I am the world and I'm yours

I am the world, I am the world
I am the world, I am the world
