The Western world, also known as the West and the Occident (from Latin: occidens "sunset, West"; as contrasted with the Orient), is a term referring to different nations depending on the context. There is no agreed upon definition about what all these nations have in common.
Though the term originally had a literal geographic meaning and contrasted Europe with the cultures of the Orient or Asia, today the term West does not imply geographic location, as most of Europe and Oceania, major components of the West, lie in the Eastern Hemisphere.[citation needed]
The concept of the Western part of the earth has its roots in Greco-Roman civilization in Europe, with the advent of Christianity. In the modern era, Western culture has been heavily influenced by the traditions of The Renaissance, The Protestant Reformation, The Enlightenment, and shaped by the expansive colonialism of the 16th-20th centuries. Its political usage was temporarily informed by a mutual antagonism with the Soviet bloc during the Cold War in the mid-to-late 20th Century (1945–1991).
Your world is open plains, and the sounds of horses'
hooves, its campfires through
and embers and raining on tin roofs.
Your world is sealed with moon beams, beneath the
starry sky, and all I wanna do is
be with you tonight.
Chorus:
I wanna feel your world around me, and breathe in every
sight, and ride with you
beneath the summer sky, I wanna feel your world
surround me if it's the only thing I
I wanna break into your western world.
Verse 2:
Your world is distant thunder, and wildflowers after
rain, it's desolate and beautiful, its laughter and its
pain.
But your world is keep your distance, should someone
break your heart,
and all I wanna do, is take you in my arms.
Chorus
I wanna feel you around me, and breathe in your sight,
and lie with you, beneath the summer sky,
as long as these plains go on forever ill be loving you
I wanna break into, your western world.
Wanna break into you world, and be with you tonight, I
wanna take you in my arms, beneath the summer sky.
