| This is a perfect world
|
| So let’s stop trying to make it what it’s not
|
| This is a perfect world
|
| So let’s stop trying to make it what it’s not
|
| Everybody’s talking 'bout the world
|
| And wondering what it’s coming to
|
| But it ain’t the world it’s the people in it
|
| That’s a-makin' it hard for you
|
| If you don’t believe
|
| That what I say is true
|
| Then show me the day that the sun will shine
|
| And it verily shines on you
|
| This is a perfect world
|
| So let’s stop trying to make it what it’s not
|
| This is a perfect world
|
| So let’s stop trying to make it what it’s not
|
| I know some people who never
|
| Had a clock or a radio
|
| But they get up every morning
|
| Just by hearing that rooster crow
|
| One day I picked a rose
|
| Fresh from the morning dew
|
| That was the day I made up my mind
|
| To sing this song to you
|
| This is a perfect world
|
| So let’s stop trying to make it what it’s not
|
| This is a perfect world
|
| So let’s stop trying to make it what it’s not
|
| Blacks say they don’t like whites
|
| And the whites say they hate the blacks
|
| Just the other day I saw a man
|
| Puttin' that suntan lotion on his back
|
| We got to get it together
|
| Decide what we’re gonna do
|
| We oughta show the man
|
| Who made us all
|
| That we have it perfect too
|
| This is a perfect world
|
| So let’s stop trying to make it what it’s not
|
| This is a perfect world
|
| So let’s stop trying to make it what it’s not
|
| We gonna stop doing all those things
|
| We ain’t supposed to do
|
| Just take a look around ya
|
| See what He’s done for you
|
| See the world
|
| Ah, and man He put it there
|
| See the flowers He made, see the trees
|
| Ah, He made for you and me
|
| He made a perfect world
|
| This is a perfect world |
