I Am The World
Bee Gees Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm the sun, I'm the falling rain
I'm the kind of man you can't explain

True love is one thing I've been dreaming of
I give my love to you and when I do
You are to me, the very deepest part of me

I am the world
I am the sky
I am the sea
I'm anything that you want me to be

When you hurt me, then I become the night time
The shadows in my eyes don't make it good for
Me to see the way I should

I am the world
I am the sky
I am the sea
I'm anything that you want me to be

I'm the sun, I'm the falling rain
I'm the kind of man that you can't explain





I am the world
I am the world

Robin 's voice is beautifully haunted

@happyolddude

To me, the best song that Robin Gibb / Bee Gees ever recorded. I saw them sing this song live at Surf City in Sydney in 1966 just before they left to go to England. Robin's voice was incredible just to sit and listen. I mean he was only 16!

@janetcarroll8863

That's wonderful! I saw them five times live, all in Southern California, including their first USA concert in January 1968.

@lourdessantos228

Incredible resonance and tone for such a youngster. The vibrato is incredible . The way he soars up to those high notes is beautiful. What a talent!
