This world is full of trouble and woe This world is full of trouble and woe All I see is trouble, everywhere I go I'm gonna sing the trouble that I know This world is full of sadness and tears This world is full of sadness and tears They fill us full of sayings, and full of fear I'm gonna sing until my eyes are clear Gonna dig deep down into my heart Gonna dig deep down into my heart Gonna dig deep down, I'm gonna do my part I'm gonna sing, sing a brand new start This world is full of promise and love This world is full of promise and love Promise of a new day with no dark clouds above And I'm gonna sing that world I'm dreamin' of This world is full of joy and mystery This world is full of joy and mystery This world will be our joy, I believe it will be When we know what it is to be free This world is full of trouble and woe This world is full of trouble and woe All I see is trouble, everywhere I go I'm gonna sing, sing my way back home I'm gonna sing my way back home
