Lyrics for The World Tonight

I saw you sitting at the center of a circle Everybody Everybody wanted something from you I saw you sitting there I saw you swaying to the rhythm of the music Caught you playing Caught you praying to the voice inside you I saw you swaying there I don't care what you want to be I go back so far, I'm in front of me It doesn't matter what they say They're giving the game away, hey, hey I can see the world tonight Look into the future See it in a different light I can see the world tonight I heard you listening to a secret conversation You were crying You were trying not to let them hear you I heard you listening in Never mind what they want to do You got a right to your point of view It doesn't matter what they say They're giving the game away, hey, hey I can see the world tonight Look into the future See it in a different light I can see the world tonight (I can see the world tonight) I saw you hiding from a flock of paparazzi You were hoping You were hoping that the ground would swallow you I saw you hiding there I don't care what you want to be I go back so far, I'm in front of me It doesn't matter what they say They're giving the game away, hey, hey I can see the world tonight Look into the future See it in a different light I can see the world tonight Look into the future I can see the world tonight See it in a different light I can see the world tonight I can see the world tonight
