If you’ve ever felt like you had to be a secret, or bite your tongue, or walk on eggshells because someone is uncomfortable with your truth, this song is for you, and everyone who thinks you should hide.
The World
by Heather Little
Come out, come out, whoever you are
There is nothing to fear in me
A son can only hide so long
It’s not as dark as it used to be
Everybody loves you
Everyone who matters
Even if their heart’s gone missing
They care, they’re in there somewhere
And the world will come around
The world will come around
I know you can’t see it now
The world’s gonna come around
Wake up, old man, your daughter’s crying
She’s the same little girl you raised
Your son is shining bright for you
What you see is the man you made
Everybody loves you
Everyone who matters
Even if their heart’s gone missing
They care, they’re in there somewhere
And the world will come around
The world will come around
At your feet there is a common ground
The hands will drop the stones
Hey, love, “to each his own”
I know you can’t see it now,
But the world’s gonna come around
I’ll carry your love
You carry mine
Trade your burden of a secret
For your peace of mind
And the world will come around
The world will come around
I know you can’t see it now,
But I believe, the world’s gonna come around
