I love youA Poem by LanaI am the world And everything in it The people I see on TV They were a part of me And when I thought that misery Was only something A few people could feel I was always wrong I am the world I am the people who fled the war The ones who begged for mercy I am the colonizer And the slavemaster in Kentucky I am the farmer in Korea The italian woman who stirs her pasta to keep it from sticking I was the whole world And when I was wondering Who I was And why I was so alone I was the whole world Living in a bubble And the people I didn't know Were always a part of me In my veins, my soul And even my journey As genes are just travellers Of a grand scheme I am me You are me And I love you for it Whoever you are reading this I love you
