World Hold On
Bob Sinclar Sly & Robbie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Open up your heart
What do you feel?
Open up your heart
What do you feel is real?

The big bang may be a million years away
But I can't think of a better time to say
World, hold on
Instead of messing with our future
Open up inside
World, hold on
Wonder you will have to answer to the children of the sky

World, hold on
Instead of messing with our future
Tell me no more lies
World, hold on
Wonder you will have to answer to the children of the sky

Children of the sky...
Children of the sky...

Look inside
You'll find a deeper love
The kind that only comes from high above

If you ever meet your inner child
Don't cry
Tell them everything is gonna be all right

World, hold on
Instead of messing with our future
Open up inside
World, hold on
Wonder you will have to answer to the children of the sky

World, hold on
Come on, everybody in the universe, come on
World, hold on
Wonder you will have to answer to the children of the sky

Children of the sky
Open up your heart
Tell me, how do you feel?

Listen now, tell them everything
Right here, right now
All right, everybody, here in the world
You are all the children

Together now, unite, and fight, oh
Open up your heart, now
Peace, love for everyone

Oh, no, no, no, no, no, all right
To the four corners of the world
Sing it loud, sing it loud, sing it loud, loud, loud
World hold on, on

Sing it loud, sing it proud
Everybody, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh
Don't take no for an answer
No, no, not today

Right here, spread love
Everybody join together now
One, one heart, love and unity, everybody sing
Yeah!

World, hold on
Come on, everybody in the universe, come on
World, hold on
Wonder you will have to answer to the children of the sky

World, hold on
Come on, everybody in the universe, come on




World, hold on
Wonder you will have to answer to the children of the sky

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "World Hold On" by Bob Sinclar featuring Steve Edwards are a call to action for people to unite and protect our planet's future. The opening lines ask the listener to open up their heart and feel what is real. The song then goes on to address the issue of messing with our future and tells us that we will have to answer to the children of the sky.


When the lyrics say "the big bang may be a million years away," it's a metaphor for the idea that the universe is vast and has been around for a very long time, but the time to act is right now. The song encourages people to look inside and find a deeper love that comes from high above, possibly referring to a divine or spiritual force that binds all life together.


The chorus repeats the message of "World Hold On" to stop messing with our future and instead open up our hearts and minds to love, peace, and unity. The song is a powerful reminder that we are all connected, and the future of the world depends on our collective actions.
