I want to kiss the world beautiful I want to kiss the world fine Shoulder to shoulder, cheek to cheek That don't sound much like a crime I want to kiss the world beautiful I have no name for this desire I believe in light, but don't know what to write With the darkness drawing near I want to kiss the world beautiful Lay down this life I think I would Give up my shoes and all of my views Don't know why just think I should I want to kiss the world beautiful Under the weight of all this earth Sometimes it takes someone else's life To make us see what we are worth I want to kiss the world beautiful Dream but never fall asleep Go up to God and say, do you have plans today? Are you walking down my street? I want to kiss the world beautiful And not forget from where we came There are losers and winners, saints and sinners I hope we all end up the same I want to kiss the world beautiful I want to kiss your lips tonight Sometimes it's just more important to love Than to always have it right
