All the world’s forgiving the change is all around
And people everywhere have seen the light in what they’ve found
It’s a happy place in the human race
When all our lives are lived forgiving

All the world’s for living when love is what you find
Despair and loneliness you’ve got to leave them far behind
Tell the clouds to go let the feeling show
It’s great when life is full of living

Everyone’s aware they know to change the world we’ve got to care
And people all should know should have happened long ago
Or could it be that I just now found out

Life is meant to share and it means the same thing everywhere
Living everyday, helping people on their way
Cause sometimes life gives everyone some doubts

Can I have time? Is it right what I feel?
At times I doubt what I normally know is real
But right now I don’t know what to do
And it’s all because of you
I could tell you if I knew that you’d believe

As slight and elusive as life sometimes is
Right or wrong as we both know we all can be
I could never have denied that I need you by my side
‘Cause without you life don’t seem that much to me

I can see an old man cry, it’s his time to die
And life no longer gives him any breaks
He hasn’t got a home, no one to call his own
Still he tells no one that it is more than he can take

When the time is so unkind, an empty future plays in your mind
When the darkness cries out to you, can you escape it?
What can you do?

All the world’s forgetting the hate that filled our hearts
The times of selfish reasoning that keeps all apart
This world was meant to share, let them know you care
By making someone’s life worth living

All the world’s believing that this felling’s got to stay
till all the world is living
till all the world is giving
till all the world is loving every day

The lyrics to All The World are just the words, phrases, verses and chorus that Kansas used when the song was created in 1975. The lyrics to All The World have both easy-to-spot meanings and hidden metaphors that have been discussed by the music press and fans, but only Kansas and any collaborators know all of the inspirations for the song.

If you like etymology or breaking apart phrases and words, it is easy to understand the lyrics to All The World by Kansas. The word "lyric" itself derives from the Latin word lyricus, with the actual English word lyrics applied to the definition "words set to music" listed in Stainer and Barrett's 1876 Dictionary of Musical Terms. Continuing the chain, the Latin word lyricus derives from the Greek word λυρικός or lyrikós. This somewhat means "poetry accompanied by the lyre" or "words set to music." You can easily see that by looking at the background of the word lyric, that the "lyrics to All The World" means the words set to the music of All The World, or poetry accompanied by the lyre played by Kansas. The singular form "lyric" is still used to mean the complete words to a song. However, the singular form lyric is also commonly used to refer to a specific line (or phrase) within a song's lyrics.

None of this talk about the word Lyrics is really relevant to fans of Kansas who came here looking just for the lyrics to All The World, but we feel it is still fun to learn what's behind commonly used words and lyrics in songs.
