Evening Primrose: Take Me to the World

[ELLA]
Let me see the world with clouds
Take me to the world
Out where I can push through crowds
Take me to the world

A world that smiles
With streets instead of aisles
Where I can walk for miles with you

Take me to the world that's real
Show me how it's done
Teach me how to laugh, to feel
Move me to the sun

Just hold my hand whenever we arrive
Take me to a world where I can be alive

[CHARLES, spoken]
The world is better here. I know I've seen them both

[ELLA]
Let me see the world that smiles
Take me to the world
Somewhere I can walk for miles
Take me to the world

With all around things growing in the ground
Where birds that make a sound are birds
Let me see the world that's real

[CHARLES]
I have seen the world

[ELLA]
Show me how it's done

[CHARLES]
And it's mean and ugly

[ELLA]
Teach me how to laugh, to feel

[CHARLES]
We could laugh together

[ELLA]
Move me to the sun

[CHARLES]
Stay here with me

[ELLA]
Just hold my hand whenever we arrive

[CHARLES]
Stay here. I love you, Ella
But we're happy here

[ELLA]
Let it be a world with you

[CHARLES]
Stay with me

[ELLA]
Any other world with you

[CHARLES]
Stay with me

[ELLA]
Take me to a world where I can be alive

(spoken)
What kind of life is this? We'll become just like the people here

[CHARLES]
Do you want the world ?
Well then, you shall have the world
Ask me for the world again
You shall have the world

A world of skies
That's bursting with surprise
To open up your eyes with joy

We shall see the world come true
We shall have the world

[ELLA]
I won't be afraid with you
We shall have the world

[CHARLES & ELLA]
You'll hold my hand and know you're not alone
You shall have the world to keep
Such a lovely world we'll weep
We shall have the world forever for our own
