[Silence]
[Instrumental, Electric Guitar, Acoustic Guitar, Bass, Drums, Piano, Organ, Synth]
[Intro]
[Instrumental Intro: Funky Bass Groove, Clean Electric Guitar, Tight Drums, Warm Organ, Playful Synth]
[Spoken Vocal]
Me…
My…
Mine…
Three little words.
(A pretty small world…)
[Refrain]
Do you do
(“Me, my, mine”)
… all the time
Does the world
Turn around you
(Is that your point of view?)
[Verse 1]
My way, my day, my point of view
My wants, my needs, my “I” comes through
My plans, my place, my piece of pie
My reasons why, my reasons why
Mine to keep and mine to claim
Mine to win and mine to name
… somewhere in the “me” and “my”
A bigger world is passing by
[Pre-Chorus]
Me!
(My!)
Mine!
(All the time!)
Look!
(Outside!)
See!
(The other side!)
[Chorus]
Me, my, mine
(That’s the line)
Me, my, mine
(All the time)
What about us?
(What about we?)
Too much fuss?
(Can’t you see?)
[Refrain]
Do you do
(“Me, my, mine”)
… all the time
Does the world
Turn around you
(Is that your view?)
[Verse 2]
One small circle, one small view
Can become a cage around you
When the mirror is the only frame
The wider world can lose its name
There’s a difference between self-care
And believing no one else is there
Take care of what you call your own
But don’t mistake the world for home alone
[Instrumental]
[Electric Guitar Solo: Funky Blues Lead, Slap Bass, Tight Drums, Organ Stabs, Synth Accents]
[Bridge]
Me!
(My!)
Mine!
(But…)
You!
(Your!)
Ours!
(Us!)
If the world
(Turns around)
Maybe turn
(And look around)
[Breakdown]
[Drums Drop Out: Bass Groove, Acoustic Guitar, Finger Claps, Soft Organ]
Me…
My…
Mine…
Then…
You…
Your…
Yours…
And maybe…
Ours.
[Final Refrain]
Do you do
(“Me, my, mine”)
… all the time
Does the world
Turn around you
(Is that your point of view?)
[Final Chorus]
Me, my, mine
(That’s the line)
But life is bigger
(Than your side)
Me, my, mine
(Think again)
Make some room
(For “we” and “when”)
Does the world
(Turn around you?)
Look around
(And see the view)
Me, my, mine
(Can change the rhyme)
From “me” and “mine”
(To “ours” in time)
[Outro]
[Instrumental Outro: Funky Bass, Clean Guitar, Handclaps, Organ, Light Synth Fade]
Me…
My…
Mine…
You…
Your…
Yours…
Us…
Ours.
[Spoken, fading]
Does the world turn around you?
Or are you turning with the world, too?
