"World" is the second single from the album Two Lights, written by Five for Fighting and released in 2006.
"World" is a wistfully upbeat, piano-driven melody that, like his other singles, paints vivid pictures of human life driven with deep emotion. The song's lyrics are notably more cryptic than in previous singles, but are driven by the chorus hooks, "What kind of world do you want?" and "Be careful what you wish for, history starts now."
[edit] Music video
The music video for "World" features aspects of the bright side of life including children, marriage and fireworks. There are also references that go with the lyrics including a brief image of a mushroom cloud in a cup of tea, with a newspaper's headline featuring North Korea's nuclear program.
A separate music video for the song was made by the U.S. television network CBS to promote their Wednesday night, post-apocalyptic drama Jericho. The video consisted of scenes from the first half of the season edited together.
The song has also been used on The History Channel in a promotional montage for the network. PBS also used the song during the first episode of the documentary series Carrier.
