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 [CHORUS] 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 [Repeat CHORUS 2x] 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...
