The World Is Yours
Tim McMorris Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Look up, live free
Dream big, and see
The world is yours, the world is yours

Give all you have, you have to give
The world is yours, the world is yours

I tried to break free
You tried to keep me bound
I tried to live right
You tried to keep me down

But now I going up
I'm moving higher than
Anywhere that I've been before
I'm flyin' man

It's kinda crazy, like my feet are lifting off the ground
I'm touching heaven with my hands now to get this sound

But though I'm flyin', my heads still level
And I won't be bowing down to hear the whispers of the devil

Now the future is here, and it looks real bright
And it can be yours too, if you set the path right
I know life can be hard, but you were put here to win
If you refuse to quit, when your down, and get back up again

Man, I used to write my music from my tiny bedroom
And though I dreamt of being free
I felt trapped, like in a tomb
And even though the times were dark, and I could barely even see
Through all the tears, I'd sit and pen, weave out my destiny

But now the days are gone, where I will listen to the critics
Who counted me out before they ran the proper analytics
I'm here to stay, just like a necklace waiting to be pearled
And I'm throwing up the and I'm singing with the world

Look up, live free
Dream big, and see that
The world is yours, the world is yours

Give all you have, you have to give cause
The world is yours, the world is yours

You should be careful who you listen to
Who watch all of the things you do
I hate to break it to ya
Not everyone wants the best for you

Who try to take the dream inside you that they see
They're flat out jealous and envy
All of the things you will be, yeah

Just hold your head up man and keep up movin' on
If I would have never struggled, then I wouldn't have this song
But don't get me wrong, no need to stack up your strife
You gotta watch the ones who you let speak straight into your life

Cause the artists they will sing you all their fancy little songs
With the funny little beats and all the catchy sing alongs
But the messages they give are not the kind you should be fed
It's a recipe of lies they try to get stuck in your head

Man, I see some rappers sold their souls
I won't be selling mine
No need to find a source
When you're eatin' from the vine

You thought that I was done
But now I'm leaving you behind
Wouldn't say I deserve it
But I'm here to get what's mine

Look up, live free
Dream big, and see that
The world is yours, the world is yours

Give all you have, you have to give cause
The world is yours, the world is yours

Live good, live right
No fear, tonight
The world is yours, the world is yours

And just, stay true
Fight on, stay you
The world is yours, the world is yours

Look up, live free
Dream big, and see that
The world is yours, the world is yours





Give all you have, you have to give cause
The world is yours, the world is yours

Wenn wir nicht von anderen einen Denkanstoß bekommen, ist die Wahrscheinlichkeit eben gering das man an der Masse an Videos, nur mal auf Youtube bezogen durch Zufall solche Musik finden. Ich habe damals Bon Iver durch Tom Hiddleston kennen gelernt, hätte dieser nicht von ihm geschrieben hätte ich den Sänger wahrscheinlich niemals kennen gelernt.
Hätte mein Vater mir damals nicht seine Schallplatten gegeben hätte ich niemals angefangen die FatBoys oder Bob Marley zu hören... alles lebt von Mundpropaganda, die Musik, Filme, Bücher, Serien.
Die Individualität ist immer noch zu sagen: Ja mag ich, nein mag ich nicht. 
Nur weil einige (und auch ich) durch Gronkh hier her gekommen sind, heißt es ja nicht das wir alle wie die Lemminge dem Folgen. Ich hoffe (nein, weiß) das sicher einige seiner Fans sagen: hm? Was das? Nee gefällt mir nicht.
Andere sagen: Wow, cool das ich durch Gronkh so ein Lied gefunden habe.

Ich finde nichts ist schlimm daran wenn man Dinge durch andere Menschen findet. Außerdem sind es verglichen mit denen die hier gepostet haben, nur eine Hand voll von Leuten die durch Gronkh das Lied kennen und / oder lieben gelernt haben :D

Individualität ist das, was du daraus machst.
