Rule The World
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Do I have to rule the world?
Or will it come to me?
Do I have to live in doubt
Or will it turn to me?
Do I have to lose my mind?
Cause it's been wandering
Will they ever let me out?
I've been wondering
Help me to see
Who I can be
Help me to know
Where I can go
(Take me)
Take me out of myself again
(Help me)
Help me lose control
(Show me)
Show me love, show me happiness
(Love me)
I can't do this on my own
I don't understand the game
Or who I meant to be
It's driving me insane
The way you're playing me
Help me to see
Who I can be
Help me to know
Where I can go
(Take me)
Take me out of myself again
(Help me)
Help me lose control
(Show me)
Show me love, show me happiness
(Love me)
I can't do this on my own
(Take me)
Take me out of myself again
(Help me)
Help me lose control
(Show me)
Show me love, show me happiness
(Love me)
I can't do this on my own
(Take me)
Take me
(Help me)
Help me
(Show me)
Show me
(Love me)
Lo-o-ove
(Take me)
(Help me)
(Show me)
Show me love, show me happiness
I can't do this on my own
(Take me)
(Help me)
(Show me)
Take me out of myself again
Help me lose control
Show me love, show me hapiness
I can't do this on my own
