Just like a river, I've carved my own valley
Just like a mountain, I'll stand all alone
Just like a cloud, I'll uncover a sunset
This world is it, I'll make it my home
This world is it, I will make it my home
Standing by highways, I'll thumb my way over
Standing by oceans I'll listen to poems
Standing in cities I'll sing out the warnings
This world is it, I'll make it my home
This world is it, I will make it my home
I've been to the bottom of fear and self-loathing
And in all of that darkness, love came along
Though I still know my way down to that basement,
I leave it behind when I hear this song
I leave it behind when I hear this song
'Gainst the armies of darkness, I'll ride out to meet them
The haters and half-baked, I'll win them with song
Careerists and power, I'll sweep out the ashes
This world is it, I'll make it my home
This world is it, I will make it my home
I've been to the bottom of fear and self-loathing
And in all of that darkness, love came along
Though I still know my way down to that basement,
I leave it behind when I hear this song
I leave it behind when I hear this song
In lying with you love, I'll move from the centre
Lying like grass, our love will grow long
Lying like Whitman we'll love everybody
This world is it, I'll make it my home
This world is it, I will make it my home
Fear and doubt are our greatest rivals
Action and joy can carry us along
Hard work and hope trump hard luck and trouble
This world is it, we'll make it our home
This world is it, we will make it our home
We've been to the bottom of fear and self-loathing
And in all of that darkness, love came along
Though we still know our way down to that basement,
We leave it behind when we hear this song
Leave it behind when we hear this song
