Hello world here I am today
What do you have for me today?
Repeat
Out in the big wide open
Open for so much laughter
Takin chances on the unknown
And entering into the big bad world!
Vulnerable and open for attack
I’m doing things that I lacked
Goin for my dreams hopin for the unseen
And loving every minute of it all!
Out in the big wide open
Open for so much failure
Takin the risk of fallin down
While not knowin how to do it all
Into this big bad world
I often feel so alone
Wonderin if anyone cares
About the dreams I’m about to pursue!
Hello world here I am today
What do you have for me today?
Hello world here I am today
What do you have for me today?
Learnin about the hard school of knocks
Seein what I need to learn so I can rock
Life is a classroom where I’m tested
I wont really learn until I’m invested
Big and bad though it might look
The world has so much that’s been over looked
Seein things I never saw before
Reminds me how much the world has been restored
Things might seem scary at first
But theres always something way worse
Entering into the big bad world is inevitable
But I’ll never learn if I remain in your world
Into the big wide open
Open for so much laughter
Takin the risk of fallin down
And entering into the big bad world!
Into the vast unknown world
I’m really not the only girl
Sometimes it seems I’m alone in the sea
A whole another world I haven’t seen
Hello world here I am today
What do you have for me today?
Hello world here I am today
What do you have for me today?
A man is not an island
If I just began to swam it
The world would not look so big
And maybe I’d learn how to give
Sometimes the lessons we need
Are the ones we can’t even see
The big bad world will fail to agree
With the person we’ve chosen to be
If I shared the person I was
And I wasn’t afraid if I’d please
Things would open up in the world
And a whole another me would just be
Learning how to be in the world
While not selling my own soul
Taking the risk of loosing myself
So I make sure I check in often with myself
Hello world here I am today
What do you have for me today?
Hello world here I am today
What do you have for me today?
What do you have for me today?
Hello world hello world its my world yeah!
Its my world its your world
Its our world its our world
Hello world hello world
