You are the World, by Alt-Country Rock Pop artists The McGees Main vocals - Pancho, Lefty and Cousin

You're earth, fire and air
Walking down the stairs
Poetry in motion
You're wind, sun and rain
You make the seasons change
With the slightest emotion

If I could I would
Take you by the hand
Pull you close to me
Make you understand

That you are the world
You are the world
You are the world to me
You are the world
You are the world
You are the world to me

And when you smile at me
The sun shines down, you see
You're like some kind of Isis
And when you cry comes rain
How, I can't explain
Left to my own devices

I'd be like Van Gogh
I'd cut my ear off so
That you'd finally see
How much you mean to me

You are the world
Just are the world
You are the world to me
You are the world
You are the world
You are the world to me
To me, to me, to me

I revolve around you
Just like the planets do
In an elliptical arc
All around your heart
I can't stop loving you
Even if I wanted to
'Cause you're the stratosphere
That surrounds me dear

You are the sun are the moon are the sea
are the sky are the air are the stars on up high

You are the world
You are the world
You just are the world to me, to me
I breathe you in, like oxygen
'Cause you are the world to me

You're the entire world
Fit into just one girl
I wonder where you hide it
You're earth, fire and air
You're simply everywhere
I can't begin to fight it

You are the sun are the moon are the sea
are the sky are the air on up high
