  • There's a world you're living in
    No one else has your part
    All God's children in the wind
    Take it in and blow hard

    Look around it, have you found it
    Walking down the avenue?
    See what it brings
    Could be good things
    In the air for you

    We are leaving, we are gone
    Come with us to all alone
    Never worry, never moan
    We will leave you all alone

    In the mountains, in the cities
    You can see the dream
    Look around you, has it found you?
    Is it what it seems?

    There's a world you're living in
    No one else has your part
    All God's children in the wind
    Take it in and blow hard Writer/s: Neil Young

  • Wwbuilder from MnA very atypical Neil Young song- especially with the emotionally charged "A Man Needs a Maid", "Alabama", and "The Needle and the Damage Done" on the same album. Nonetheless, it is a song about seeing the beauty in the world- both around us and within us- and as such I do not think the instrumentation is overblown at all.
  • Todd J Kreitzinger from Acworth GaI find this song very pleasing to the ear. It also captures the depth of his song writing.
