Said it’s sad, said it was a shame
Bet you thought I caught a boat to bombay
On the line just to let you know
I will be around

Underneath the bridge to nowhere
Like I’m livin’ out a game of solitaire
Goin’ up to a better day
I will be around

Hey world, it’s me
I still have the heart, still have the dream
 [bad word] on, people
We’ve got [bad word] together
It’s you and me
Hope will make us stronger
Freedom it rings
Do you hear it calling
Reach out and touch
And love will take us higher

Somebody threw a brick at my vision
Tried to sabotage my mission
Either way, I believe
I will be around

I wanna know, people are you with me
Open up your heart and just believe
Take a step, let me hear you say
I will be around

Hey world, it’s me
I still have the heart, still have the dream

For he knows the plans he has for you
plan to prosper and not to harm you
To give you a future, and a hope
