“I have seen people’s faith rocked by tragedy, some people very close to me. That is what the song ‘When I Look At The World’ is about. It is a tender song but also quite tough. I have heard it suggested that it is a portrait of Ali. I have certainly been guilty of putting Ali on a pedestal in the p...
When I Look at the World Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When you look at the world
What is it that you see?
People find all kinds of things
That bring them to their knees
[Verse 2]
I see an expression
So clear and so true
That it changes the atmosphere
When you walk into the room
[Chorus]
So I try to be like you
Try to feel it like you do
But without you it's no use
I can't see what you see
When I look at the world
[Verse 3]
When the night is someone else's
And you're trying to get some sleep
When your thoughts are too expensive
To ever wanna keep
[Verse 4]
When there's all kinds of chaos
And everyone is walking lame
You don't even blink now, do you
Or even look away?
[Chorus]
So I try to be like you
Try to feel it like you do
But without you it's no use
I can't see what you see
When I look at the world
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
I can't wait any longer
I can't wait till I'm stronger
Can't wait any longer
To see what you see
When I look at the world
[Verse 5]
I'm in the waiting room
I can't see for the smoke
I think of you and your holy book
When the rest of us choke
[Outro]
Tell me, tell me
What do you see?
Tell me, tell me
What's wrong with me?
