I will be gay
If the gay are burned
I’ll be Africa
If Africa is shut down
I will be poor
If the poor are humiliated
And I’ll be a child
If the children are exploited
I know what I am
And I know what I’m not
O mundo é selvagem
O caminho é solitário
Ay, ay, ay
O mundo é selvagem
O caminho é solitário
Ay, ay, ay
(Ay, ay, ay, ay)
(Ay, ay, ay, ay)
(Ay, ay, ay, ay)
(Ay, ay, ay, ay)
I’ll be Islam
If Islam is hated
I’ll be Israel
If they’re incarcerated
I’ll be Native Indian
If the Indian has been taken
I’ll be a woman,
If she’s raped and her heart is breaking
I know what I am
God knows what I am
And I know what I’m not
And He knows what I’m not
Do you know who you are?
Mmm
Will we know when to stop?
O mundo é selvagem
O caminho é solitário
Ay, ay, ay
O mundo é selvagem
O caminho é solitário
Ay, ay, ay
Eu já sei o que sou, e o que não sou (Ay, ay, ay, ay)
Eu sei o que sou, e o que não sou (Ay, ay, ay, ay)
O mundo é selvagem (wild is the world, wild is the world)
(Wild is the world) (Ay, ay, ay, ay)
I know what I am
God knows what I am
And I know what I’m not
And He knows what I’m not
Do you know who you are?
Mmm
Will we know when to stop?
Wild is the world
And lonely is the path
To come to you
