World
Harry Nilsson Lyrics

You come to the end
As life approaches its end, it becomes a dimmer place filled with challenges.

And the light there is dimmer
Approaching death, the world becomes a darker place, and hope can be hard to find.

And chances are slimmer
As death approaches, opportunities are more limited, and time seems to run out faster.

Of findin' your way
Life is a tumultuous journey and finding one's way is a difficult task.

You find that you stay out
While approaching death, people become more cautious and avoid danger and unnecessary risk.

Of trouble and danger
With death increasingly looming, the world appears more dangerous, and people become more afraid.

'Cause everything's stranger
As life ends, the world seems less familiar and less immediately understandable.

Than it used to be
The world changes as life ends, and things are no longer the way they were before.

You're a scary old place out there world
The world can be a daunting and terrifying place, especially when death is imminent.

But I couldn't be happy without you
Despite its challenges, we cannot imagine not being part of the world and experiencing everything it has to offer us.

And I swear all my thoughts are about you
The world is always on our minds, and we are constantly trying to understand and appreciate it to the fullest extent.

Well the light can be bright there
Despite the darkness that can come with approaching death, hope remains and a bright future may still be possible.

And everything's right there
When we are part of the world, everything seems to be just as it should be.

The end of the night there might be a big band
The end of life might have surprising, delightful surprises in store, like a big band playing music.

Or a heavenly chior, or it might be the fire
Good surprises can be religious or spiritual in nature, or they can be something more earthly, like a bonfire party with friends.

But no matter what happens
Regardless of what happens in life, we can find peace and comfort in being part of the world.

I bet it's OK
We should trust that everything will be alright, even when the future is uncertain.

Your mountains when you're mad
Even when the world is angry or raging, we can still appreciate its vastness and beauty, like its mountains.

Your rivers when your sad
When we are sad, we can still find solace and peace by appreciating the world's flowing rivers.

And those deep blue seas
The world abounds with beauty and majesty, like its deep blue oceans.

I love you for your snow
We can love the world even for its harsh or challenging aspects, like snow and cold.

Your deserts down below
The world's deserts are another harsh but beautiful aspect that people can appreciate.

I love the way you wear your trees
Part of the world's beauty comes from how it wears and displays its trees.

And though there are times when I doubt you
Even when we face challenges and crises, we should maintain faith and hope in the world.

I just couldn't stay here without you
Despite its challenges, the world is essential to us, and we could not survive without it.

So when you get older
As we grow old and face death, we can still appreciate and cherish the world.

And over your shoulder
As we age and approach death, we can look back on our lives with appreciation and reflection.

You look back to see if it's real
As we approach the end of life, we seek to understand and verify the reality of the world, understanding that it is fleeting.

Tell her she's beautiful
We should appreciate and cherish the world for its beauty and wonder.

Roll the world over
We should appreciate the world from every perspective, and consider it in its totality.

And give her a kiss and a feel
We should embrace the world and cherish it with all our senses and emotions.

So long, folks!
A friendly closing.

Goodbye, Harry.

A final farewell.
