Lyrics
I am
In the eyes of the world
Just a man
Only one man
I am
In the eyes of the world
Just a dot
Not a lot
But when I walk with you
My soul is tied to every star
‘Cause I, I am the world
And heaven above in the eyes of my love
Yes, I may be small
In the eyes of the world
But I am so tall
In the eyes of my love
But when I walk with you
My soul is tied to every star
‘Cause I, I am the world
And heaven above in the eyes of my love
Yes, I may be small
In the eyes of the world
But I am so tall
In the eyes of my love
