Her:
Let me see the world with clouds
Take me to the world
Out where I can push through crowds
Take me to the worldA world that smiles
With streets instead of aisles
Where I can walk for miles with youTake me to the world that's real
Show me how it's done
Teach me how to laugh, to feel
Move me to the sunJust 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 worldHim: We'd be cold and hungry in the winter
Somewhere I can walk for milesHim: A shabby room with cracked plaster
Take me to the worldHim: You couldn't get a jobWith 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 birdsLet me see the world that's real Him: I have seen the world
Show me how it's doneHim: And it's mean and ugly
Teach me how to laugh, to feelHim: We could laugh togetherMove me to the sunHim: Stay here with meJust hold my hand whenever we arrive Him: Stay here. I love you. But we're happy here
Let it be a world with youHim: Stay with me
Any other world with you
Take me to a world where I can be aliveHim
Do you want the world ?
Well then, you shall have the world
Ask me for the world again
You shall have the worldA world of skies
That's bursting with surprise
To open up your eyes for joyWe 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 aloneYou shall have the world to keep
Such a lovely world you'll weep
We shall have the world forever for our own
