Look into these troubled eyesAnd tell me what you seeIs there life, life inside of meThereâs a world that keeps me willingKeeps me yearning to believeThat thereâs hope, hope through all this griefThereâs a light that seems to shineEach time we speakA word that is alive for all to keepA longing thatâll standThe wait of timeA wish that in this worldThat you were mineI want to build my world around youI want to let the truth surround youI want to build my worldI want to build my worldSo tell them that this man has changedHeâs finally found wayThrough the coarse life that held him lameAnd the promise that you set asideHeâll never turn awayFor in awe of he will remainThereâs a light that seems to shineEach time we speakA word that is alive for all to keepA longing thatâll standThe wait of timeA wish that in this worldThat you were mineI want to build my world around youI want to let the truth surround youI want to build my worldI want to build my worldSo tell them that this man has changedAt last heâs found the song he sang at youthGive him anything, as long as he can stand within the truthWhat of reasons, reasons are just words that hold you downGive him anything, just promise that youâll always be aroundI want to build my world around youI want to let the truth surround youI want to build my worldI want to build my world
