The world is a platform

Matt Starking 1987 (Africa)

Narrative
the world is a platform
and the people the audience
waiting for you to perform
you are a star
your inspiration their reform


hope you could do your best
stand up and be counted
be the first
there are difficulties
but forget the worst
the world is your guest
so go higher
yeah higher than mount Everest


for if you perform right
you steal the spot light
and you don't just win
the people but their heart


the audience cheers you up
like you are the king
and all the women
dying to be your queen
money is not the thing
you started lately
but you are doing greatly
forget about the rest
and do your best
