1. Caravan is a British progressive rock band from Canterbury, United Kingdom, founded by former Wilde Flowers members David Sinclair, Richard Sinclair, Pye Hastings, and Richard Coughlan. Caravan rose to success over a period of several years from 1968 onwards into the 1970s as part of the Canterbury scene which also included Soft Machine. Caravan still continue a part-time gigging existence into the present.
The band were largely dormant in the 1980s, but a 1990 reunion, planned as a one-off for U.K. television's Bedrock show, restarted their career. Latterly they have also achieved steady sales and a fan following with the support of the more eclectic corners of radio, like BBC Six Music's Freak Zone and the growing re-emergence of progressive rock.

2. Caravan is a Thai "folk-rock" band from the 1970s. They are the progenitors of the เพลงเพื่อชีวิต (pleng puea chiwit) or "songs for life" genre. Their music is loosely adapted folk-rock rhythms and melodies from American & British protest songs of the time and interlaced them with Thai folk idioms and instrumentation.
The band was founded in the early 1970s by student protest leaders surachai chanthimathon & wirasak sunthonsi. Their tunes & lyrics were a vital force for bringing the messages of urban student activism out to the provinces. In the wake of the massacre at thammasat university, the band fled Bangkok, some heading into the mountains of the northeast to join the communist insurgency in armed struggle. Needless to say, their music was banned from radioplay for quite a while, broadcast only from pirate stations in the hills.
3. Caravan is a Japanese singer songwriter who started out in a band during his high school days, playing as the guitarist. In 2001, he left the band and decided to go solo. He handed out copies of his independent demo titled "Homework#1" during his live shows.
In 2004, he released his first indie album "RAW LIFE MUSIC" from the label AARON FIELDS, he followed this up with releasing another indie album in November titled "Trip in the music".
With the help of his Promotion Video of "Soul music" being played frequently on SPACE SHOWER TV, Caravan gained some popularity and in 2005, he was signed with rhythm zone (of avex label) and released his first single "DAY DREAM". In 2006, Caravan released his first major album "WANDER AROUND" and since then, he has managed to produce a album each year (2007: PANORAMA VISION, 2008: Yellow Morning, 2009: Luck and Pluck) and in 2010, he released two best of albums titled "The Planet songs: vol1 + 2."

The World Is Yours
Caravan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Please hear the love I bring for you to follow
Come with me, with diamonds in the sea
And stare the hearts of men whose fight in sorrow
It's foolish to suppose you know me well, I know
Everything that I touch won't turn to gold
Money's not my way although your own lost soul's
Waiting for the day to break that hole
And I love you
I've never loved someone like I do
I love you
The world is yours if you want me to
I love you
I've never loved someone like I do
Whisper please some scandal to the trees
I'm sure they would enjoy themselves enormously
Will you and I sit up in the sky
And chase our minds through space and time relentlessly?
Circumstances indicate for you and I
If the time is right, we bid a fond farewell
Some friends of mine, the world they take on for a while
Then seldom find the time they know so well
And I love you
I've never loved someone like I do
I love you
The world is yours if you love me too
I love you
I've never loved someone like I do
The lyrics of "The World Is Yours" by Caravan are about a person who believes they can conquer the world, but only for a limited time. The singer seems to be making an offer to another person to join them on their journey, suggesting that they will have valuables like diamonds to offer. The line "stare the hearts of men whose fight in sorrow" has a sense of superiority - the singer believes they are above the struggles of others. However, they also understand that they are not infallible - "Everything that I touch won't turn to gold." They have no interest in money and material possessions, but they are still looking for something to fill a void - "Waiting for the day to break that hole." The repeated "I love you" suggests that the singer is making the offer to someone they care about deeply.
The second half of the song seems to be a continuation of the singer's musings. They suggest whispering scandalous things to the trees, implying they want to rebel against societal norms. The image of sitting in the sky and traveling through space and time could be interpreted as a metaphor for a journey of self-discovery. The singer acknowledges that circumstances may lead to them parting ways with the person they care about. The final lines seem to be an expression of the singer's devotion, telling the other person that they will have the world if they reciprocate the love.
Line by Line Meaning
The world is mine but for a time
I know that the world belongs to me, but only temporarily
Please hear the love I bring for you to follow
I ask that you listen to the love that I have to offer and follow me
Come with me, with diamonds in the sea
Join me on an adventure, with jewels as plentiful as water in the sea
And stare the hearts of men whose fight in sorrow
And look into the eyes of those whose struggles and pain go unacknowledged
It's foolish to suppose you know me well, I know
It would be unwise to assume that you understand me fully, as I am the one who truly knows myself
Everything that I touch won't turn to gold
Just because I have the world at my feet, not everything I touch will be a success
Money's not my way although your own lost soul's
Despite the fact that some may pursue wealth at the expense of their soul, that's not how I operate
Waiting for the day to break that hole
I'm hopeful that someday I'll be able to fill the void in your heart
And I love you
I want you to know that I love you
I've never loved someone like I do
I have never felt this kind of love for anyone else before
Whisper please some scandal to the trees
Share some juicy gossip with the trees so they too can enjoy it
I'm sure they would enjoy themselves enormously
I'm certain that the trees would find it amusing and entertaining
Will you and I sit up in the sky
Do you want to join me in looking up at the endless expanse of the sky?
And chase our minds through space and time relentlessly?
And explore the far reaches of our imagination, without ever stopping?
Circumstances indicate for you and I
The situation suggests that you and I should make a change
If the time is right, we bid a fond farewell
If the conditions are optimal, we'll say goodbye with love in our hearts
Some friends of mine, the world they take on for a while
I know some people who explore the world for a short time
Then seldom find the time they know so well
But then they lose sight of the things they once held dear
The world is yours if you want me to
You have the power to create your own world, as long as you're with me
I love you
I want you to know that I love you
I've never loved someone like I do
I have never felt this kind of love for anyone else before
