Lyrics
This World, this world, my mind holds this world
My mind holds this world in it's hands
This World, this world, my mind holds this world
My mind holds this world in it's hands
And when I think about this world
I can shape it just like clay
I can make myself a Garden of Eden
Or throw it all away
This World, this world, my mind holds this world
My mind holds this world in it's hands
This World, this world, my mind holds this world
My mind holds this world in it's hands
And when I spin this world around
I can turn night into day
I can make myself a sunny tomorrow
Or bring back yesterday
Yesterday, I can bring back yesterday
This World, this world, my mind holds this world
My mind holds this world in it's hands
This World, this world, my mind holds this world
My mind holds this world in it's hands
Writer(s): Gary William Friedman, Herb Schapiro
