| Suddenly I woke this morning
|
| The light was dawning on me
|
| Tumbling from my bed
|
| And scratching my head
|
| I looked out to see
|
| Bright new day, here to stay
|
| People all around
|
| Not making a sound
|
| But taking the air
|
| Trying not to choke
|
| Breathing the smoke
|
| They leave everywhere
|
| Blown away, bright new day
|
| The world is ours
|
| The place we all share together
|
| And all together
|
| There’s such a lot to share
|
| Let’s keep out world a fair place
|
| For people to live in
|
| And we can live in
|
| A world for which we care
|
| Why does everybody try to
|
| Ruin everything that really
|
| Matters in this world today
|
| Don’t they know that
|
| This is our world
|
| This is our world
|
| Everybody’s choking
|
| While the kids are busy smoking
|
| People really must be joking
|
| If they think it doesn’t happen here
|
| Yes, it happens in our world
|
| Suddenly it seems the ocean
|
| Has lost it’s motion for me
|
| Troubled waters gently gliding
|
| A black cloud sliding by me
|
| Wish I knew what to do
|
| Take a look ahead
|
| Don’t bury your head
|
| Like an ostrich below
|
| Everybody stop blowing the top
|
| Off our wonderful world
|
| Everyone having fun
|
| Why does everybody try to
|
| Ruin everything that really
|
| Matters in this world today
|
| Don’t they know that
|
| This is our world
|
| This is our world
|
| Everybody’s choking
|
| While the kids are busy smoking
|
| People really must be joking
|
| If they think it doesn’t happen here
|
| Yes, it happens in our world
|
| Na na na na…
|
| It’s our world
|
| It’s our world
|
| Na na na na…
|
| It’s our world
|
| It’s our world
|
| Na na na na… |
