Gil Scott-Heron
It’s Your World
[Verse 1: Gil Scott-Heron]
The ground beneath my feet
I know was made for me
There is no any one place where I belong
My spirit’s meant to be free
And soon now everyone will see
Life was made for us to be what we wanna be
[Chorus: Gil Scott-Heron with Background Vocals by Victor Brown, Brian Jackson, and Danny Bowens]
And it’s your world
It’s yours and yours and yours
And what you see
Was not meant for me
It’s your world
But you don’t have to be lonely
‘Cause in your world
You are truly free
[Verse 2: Gil Scott-Heron]
The thoughts that fill my mind
Are a very special kind
Because they’re home to me and me alone
And then I realize
That we all have a home inside
That was meant for us to be what we wanna be
[Chorus: Gil Scott-Heron with Background Vocals by Victor Brown, Brian Jackson, and Danny Bowens]
And it’s your world
It’s yours and yours and yours
And what you see
Was not meant for me
It’s your world
But you don’t have to be lonely
‘Cause in your world
You are truly free
[Bridge: Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3: Gil Scott-Heron]
Music of life fulfill my soul
Music of love make me feel whole
As human history unfolds before my eyes
My spirit’s meant to be free
And soon now everyone’s will be
It’s your right to be whatever you wanna be
[Chorus: Gil Scott-Heron with Background Vocals by Victor Brown, Brian Jackson, and Danny Bowens]
And it’s your world
It’s yours and yours and yours
And what you see
Was not necessarily meant for me
It’s your world
Yeah, but you don’t have to be lonely
‘Cause in your world
You are truly free
And it’s your world
It’s yours and yours and yours
And what you see
Was not meant for me
It’s your world
Well, but you don’t have to be lonely
‘Cause in your world
You are truly free
And it’s your world
It’s yours and yours and yours
And what you see
Yeah, it was not meant for me
It’s your world
But you don’t have to be lonely
‘Cause in your world
You are truly free
[Outro: Gil Scott-Heron with Background Vocals by Victor Brown, Brian Jackson, and Danny Bowens]
