Lyrics
THE WHOLE WORLD IN MY HANDS Henry Gaye King for a day, from grass to grace Don’t have a say, must keep the pace Life’s just a haze, walk through the maze I got the whole world in my hands I got the whole world, In my hands I got the whole wide world, In my hands I got the whole world, In my hands I got the whole world in my hands Let’s run the race, start from the base Open a page, cool down your rage Life’s just a stage, I earn my wage I got the whole world in my hands I got the whole world, In my hands I got the whole wide world, In my hands I got the whole world, In my hands I got the whole world in my hands It goes the way you want it to Believe it or not I said Things go the way you want them to La laaa la la la la la la la laa la la la la I’ll grow my wings and fly away Oh oh oh ohhh oh oh oh oh [guitar] Why do you sob, come join the mob I know my job, don’t try to rob Am not a snob, this is my club I got the whole world in my hands Get up make a move, Time waits for no man Life’s what you make it, Believe in yourself You got no limits, You can do all things Whole world in may hands [guitar] I got the whole world, In my hands I got the whole wide world, In my hands I got the whole world, In my hands I got the whole world in my hands
