The World Tonight - Paul McCartney, Jeff Lynne

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, praying to the voice inside you

I saw you swaying there

I don’t care what you wanna be I go back too far;

I’m in front of me!

It doesn’t matter what they say

They’re giving the game away

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 wanna do You’ve 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 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 wanna 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
