I've seen the sun rise high in Asia I've seen the sun go down in Spain Walked through forests, deserts, an' rice fields And I've seen the lightning, felt the rain I swam in lakes, rivers, an' oceans Danced in snow, grass, and sand Heard how the autumn winds were blowing As they moved across the land And I say, "the beauty of this world The beauty of this world, oh The beauty of this world is in your eyes" And I've eaten food from nature's gardens I have seen your rainbow in the sky I drank the water from your mountains And I smoked your herbs and I got high I traveled across all of your continents I've seen volcanoes, walked on ice I've surfed the ocean holy waters And right now I'm in paradise Yes, I said, "the beauty of this world The beauty of this world, oh The beauty of this world is in your eyes" And I found my love on a sunny island Yes, I've been lost in Amsterdam All those cobbled streets, they got me thinking This world made me who I am As I said, "the beauty of this world The beauty of this world, oh The beauty of this world is in your eyes"
