And my legs have walked a lot
_____
And my face has taken so much wind
_____
And with my eyes I've seen so much life
_____
And my ears have heard so much of it
_____
And my hands have applauded the world
_____
'Cause the world's the place where I saw you
_____
And my bones have taken so many hits
_____
And I've won and lost in so many fights
_____
I've lain on a thousand sheets
_____
Searching for the fire inside a word
_____
And my hands have applauded the world
_____
'Cause the world's the place where I saw you
_____
And there's a part of America
_____
Those wide skies with no clouds
_____
With butterflies and with eagles
_____
And there's a part inside Africa
_____
A lioness with her cubs
_____
Who fights alone to defend them
_____
And my arms have grabbed weapons
_____
And lots of cloth on me to warm me up
_____
And in my chest there's an engine running
_____
Built to give more than it's taken
_____
And my hands have applauded the world
_____
'Cause the world's the place where I saw you
_____
And my shoes have walked a lot
_____
And my face has taken so much wind
_____
And with my eyes I've seen so much life
_____
And my ears have heard so much of it
_____
And my hands have applauded the world
_____
'Cause the world's the place where I saw you
_____
And there's a part of my city
_____
The one with bars and tables outside
_____
And the silence of certain gardens
_____
And there's a part of the moon
_____
The one where the sun's reflected
_____
That inspires music and words
Leave me leave me leave me
Forgive me forgive me forgive me
_____
And there's a part of my life
_____
The one that beats logic
_____
The one that waits for a freak wave
_____
And there's a part in the Amazon
_____
Those warm and mysterious waters
_____
The healing plants
