Said it’s sad, said it was a shame
Bet you thought I caught a boat to Bombay
On the line just to let you know
I will be around

Underneath the bridge to nowhere
Like I’m livin’ out a game of solitaire
Goin’ up to a better day
I will be around

Hey world, it’s me
I still have the heart, still have the dream

Chorus
Come on, people
We’ve got to come together
It’s you and me
Hope will make us stronger
Freedom it rings
Do you hear it calling
Reach out and touch
And love will take us higher

Somebody threw a brick at my vision
Tried to sabotage my mission
Either way, I believe
I will be around

I wanna know, people are you with me
Open up your heart and just believe
Take a step, let me hear you say
I will be around

Hey world, it’s me
I still have the heart, still have the dream

For he knows the plans he has for you
A plan to prosper and not to harm you
To give you a future, and a hope
