[Verse 1]
Uh, like hidden gemstones in the warm sand
We all wish to drift away
Silver sunshine in my cold hands
The moon's a mirror on my day
Willow trees under the gold sky
And California shows her age
A picture in my pocket from a long lost lover
To keep with me on my way

[Chorus]
The more you wander, the more you learn
The more you love, the less you’ll hurt
No matter what you do or where you stand
The world is in the palm of your hand
In the palm of your hand

[Post-Chorus]
(Oh-way, oh-way, ayy-oh-way)
(Oh-way, oh-way, ayy-oh-way)
(Oh-way, oh-way, ayy-oh-way)
(Oh-way, oh-way, ayy-oh-way)

[Verse 2]
Plant the seed and let the flower grow
Stop stealing diamonds 'cause they're just a stone
The world will give us all an equal chance
It’s all in the palm of your hand

[Chorus]
I said, the more you wander, the more you learn
The more you love, the less you'll hurt
No matter what you do or where you stand
I said, the world is in the palm of your hand
All in the palm of your hand

[Post-Chorus]
(Oh-way, oh-way, ayy-oh-way)
Hey
(Oh-way, oh-way, ayy-oh-way)
Say, the world is in the palm
(Oh-way, oh-way, ayy-oh-way)
The world is in the palm of your hand
(Oh-way, oh-way, ayy-oh-way)
(Oh-way, oh-way, ayy-oh-way)
Hey
(Oh-way, oh-way, ayy-oh-way)
Uh
(Oh-way, oh-way, ayy-oh-way)

[Bridge]
The more you wander, the more you learn
The more you love, the less you'll hurt
No matter what you do or where you stand
The world is in the palm of your hand
In the palm of your hand
(Oh-way-oh, oh-way-oh)
Oh, yeah
(Oh-way-oh, oh-way-oh)
I said, world is in the palm
(Oh-way-oh, oh-way-oh)
World is in the palm
(Oh-way-oh, oh-way-oh)
World is in the palm of your hand

[Outro]
(Oh-way, oh-way, ayy-oh-way)
Come on
(Oh-way, oh-way, ayy-oh-way)
Come on
(Oh-way, oh-way, ayy-oh-way)
World is in the, world is in the palm
(Oh-way, oh-way, ayy-oh-way)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Oh-way, oh-way, ayy-oh-way)
(Oh-way, oh-way, ayy-oh-way)
Yeah, no matter what you do or where you stand
(Oh-way, oh-way, ayy-oh-way)
(Oh-way, oh-way, ayy-oh-way)
I said the world, the world is in the palm
The palm of, the palm of...
(Oh-way, oh-way, ayy-oh-way)
(Oh-way, oh-way, ayy-oh-way)
Come on, I said
The palm of, the palm of, the palm of...
(Oh-way, oh-way, ayy-oh-way)
I said...
(Oh-way, oh-way, ayy-oh-way...)
