Lyrics

This World

I watched you walk out

Into the world

More like a woman

And less like a girl

All the words

In my ear

Everything you said

Everywhere you tread

They say every day

Brings about a change

Childhood's over

But some things remain

Like the way you cried in bed

Never lose your smile

Never lose your head

Please don't take this world from me

Why can't we love

Why can't we give
