The World
T James Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well is this love?
Formed in the heart of the sun
Raised from the dust of our days
Learned from the error of our ways

Oh is this love?
A light in the dark of the world
Well I know you're a dancer
So take hold of my hand the world's smilin' now

Well is this love? Or are we just having fun?
And are you waiting just for me
Out where the heavens meet the sea?

Oh I knew it when we met and time stood still
A light in the dark of the world
Well I know you're a dancer
Just take hold of my hand the world's smilin' now

What a gift for today but will it always remain?
And how long does a good thing last?
Can we avoid mistakes from the past?

Oh and what if it dies?
Just disappears from your eyes?
Well you don't have to answer
Just take a hold of my hand the world's smili'n now
Well I know you're a dancer
Just take a hold of my hand the world's smilin' now





Oh is this love?
A light in the dark of the world

Overall Meaning

The song "Heal the World" by T James is a powerful plea for humanity to come together to create a better world. The opening lines of the song ("Deve haver um lugar dentro do seu coração/ Onde a paz brilhe mais que uma lembrança") suggest that there is a place within our hearts where peace can shine brighter than any memory, and that we should strive to find it. The song goes on to encourage listeners to reach out to those in need, to heal and support one another, and to work towards a world where love and compassion are the guiding forces. The refrain of the song ("Heal the world/ Make it a better place/ For you and for me/ And the entire human race") is a call to action, urging us to take responsibility for the well-being of our fellow human beings and the planet we share.


The verses of the song ("Sentir, chega o tempo de enxugar o pranto dos homens/ Se fazendo irmão, estendendo a mão") emphasize the importance of empathy and compassion, urging us to reach out to those who are suffering and to help ease their pain. The lyrics also suggest that by working together, we can create a world that is more peaceful and harmonious, where everyone is valued and supported. The song's final verse ("Se você começar outros vão te acompanhar/ E cantar com harmonia e esperança") encourages listeners to take action themselves, knowing that their efforts can inspire others to join in and work towards a shared goal.


Overall, "Heal the World" is a moving and inspirational song that invites us to reflect on our own actions and how we can contribute to creating a better world. Its central messages of love, compassion, and unity are as relevant today as they were when the song was first released in 1991.

This is a man's world, this is a man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing without a woman or a girl
You see, man made the cars to take us over the road
Man made the train to carry the heavy load
Man made electric light to take us out of the dark
Man made the boat for the water, like Noah made the ark
This is a man's, man's, man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing without a woman or a girl
Man thinks about our little bitty baby girls and our baby boys
Man made them happy, 'cause man made them toys
And after man make everything, everything he can
You know that man makes money, to buy from other man
This is a man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing, not one little thing, without a woman or a girl
He's lost in the wilderness
He's lost in bitterness, he's lost lost
