I'm in the world
I'm in the world
I'm in the world

I must be part of it
At last convinced
To the right of it
I'm in the world
For some reason or another
Sometimes I get up
And sometimes I don't bother
But I'm here
I'm here for, oh Lord, who knows?

My light gets dim
Then it glows, ooh yeah
I'm in the world
I'm in the world
I'm in the world
And being what it is
I've learnt to look
To look beyond the tears

I'm in the world
Though hearts don't break even
I'll take my chances
'Cause it ain't about leaving

I'm here
I'm here and I won't apologize
Maybe at the end there'll be a surprise
Oh, yeah
'Cause I'm in the world
Good or bad
I'm in the world

Yes, I'm here
I'm in the world
I'm here, I'm here
I'm in the world
I'm in the world
I'm here
I'm in the world
Oh, yes, oh, yes
I'm in the world
Good or bad
I'm here in the world
