The World We Live In
[DARCY]
The world we live in
Is the world they long for
That’s the common leaning
Of the crowd
So I keep my distance
And it’s this resistance
That hold and make our
Families proud
Even though one might be tempted
Never show your hand
Stay within your ranks
For they will never understand
You are a man of stature
Who might well enrapture
A lady not of
Equal grade
And though she may have beauty
It is still one’s duty
To let her know her plans have
Been mislaid
For even when you long for something
You can nеver have
Mustn’t yet rеveal the things you feel
You show restrain
As you conceal
Your sympathies
Hide humanity
Never letting on
What you’ve undergone
No one knows you
Hold your dignity
No, don’t be tempted to give in
For their world is not the world I live in
