the ground beneath my feet
i know was made for me
there is no any one place where I belong.
my spirit's meant to be free
and soon now everyone will see
life was made for us to be what we wanna be!
IT'S YOUR WORLD
it's yours and yours and yours
and what you see
was not meant for me.
IT'S YOUR WORLD
but you don't have to be lonely
'cause in your world
you are truly free!
the thoughts that fill my mind
are a very special kind
because they're home to me and me alone.
and then i realize
that we all have a home inside
that was meant for us to be what we wanna be
it's your world
it's yours and yours and yours
and what you see
was not meant for me
it's your world
but you don't have to be lonely
'cause in your world --- you are truly free!
music of life fills my soul
music of love makes me feel whole
as human history unfolds before my eyes.
my spirit's meant to be free
and soon now everyone's will be.
it's your right to be whatever you wanna be!
IT'S YOUR WORLD
it's yours and yours and yours
and what you see
was not necessarily meant for me
IT'S YOUR WORLD
but you don't have to be lonely
'cause in your world
you are truly free!
IT'S YOUR WORLD
it's yours and yours and yours
and what you see
it was not meant for me
IT'S YOUR WORLD
but you don't have to be lonely
'cause in your world
you are truly free!
(refrain)
you are truly free
to be what you wanna be
you are truly free
to be what you wanna be
you are truly free
to be what you wanna be
you are truly free
to be what you wanna be
