Songwriter: Graham Russell Michael Sherwood

Producer: Harry Maslin

There's a man with the smallest of worlds in his hands
And a tear fills his eyes as he tries to hold on
Holding his world together

There's a girl in the other half of the sky
And she's wondering why her planet should sigh
Don't you want me 'round forever

The earth is too small to be divided
Sunrise, moonfall, deep in the heart
A part of everyone

And we can't wait anymore, the time has come
And those who need something more will feel the sun
We're sharing one

The earth is too small to be divided
Sunrise, moonfall, deep in the heart
A part of everyone

And we can't wait anymore, the time is now
You've got your foot in the door
Get through somehow, break through somehow

The earth is too small to be divided
Sunrise, moonfall, deep in the heart
A part of everyone

Air Supply are a soft rock duo formed in 1975. From 1980-1985 the band had a string of hits that charted well in the US, Canada, New Zealand and their homeland Australia.

After Graham Russell’s music was ignored by bandmates in two previous bands, he auditioned for and won a part as a chorus member in a Melbourne production of Jesus Christ Superstar. This is where he met and teamed up with Russell Hitchcock, who had missed the JCS auditions in Sydney – so he flew to Melbourne and landed a spot in the same chorus.

The two submitted a demo of two songs – “Love And Other Bruises” and “If You Knew Me” to CBS Records and got signed. The former went to #3 in Australia, so they assembled session musicians, released their self-titled debut album, and toured Australia.
