Suddenly I woke this morning,
the light was dawning on me

Tumbling from my bed and scratching my head,
I looked up 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

Blowin' 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 our 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 rule everything
That really matters in this world today?
Don't they know that this is our world

This is our world

Everbody's joking and 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 its motion for me

Troubled water's 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 of a wonderful world

Everyone

Having fun

The world is ours
The place we all share together

And all together there's such a lot to share

Let's keep our world

A fair place for people to live in

And we can live in a world for which we care

The world is ours

The place we all share together

And all together there's such a lot to share

Let's keep our 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 rule everything
That really matters in this world today?
Don't they know that this is our world
This is our world

Everbody's joking and the kids are busy smoking
People really must be joking
if they think it doesn't happen here

Yes, it happens in our world

Nanana...

It's our world

It's our world

Nanana...

It's our world

It's our world

Nanana...
