Beautiful people of Earth I sing this for you Refugees welcome here I've seen it and its true Look what we do with the grapes rusting on the vine And a young man on the Gaza strip paints a window in the wall And I see it in defiant eyes the best of us all On the echoes of a dying man I hear a baby cry It's a wonderful wonderful wonderful Wonderful life And the dancers in silk skirts come bring us all on And the boys touch the moon and the girls call em home Daddy's all muddy been digging up mines on the road And the artists make love to your soul all battered and boozed Share with me the dignity of people with nothing more to lose Let your need be for love never husband or wife And it's a wonderful wonderful wonderful Wonderful life We made love in the forest and they serve great espresso downtown The people open borders when a little Syrian boy drown From bombs on Parisian streets we light our monuments for you Oh beautiful woman I'll never forget what you said Don't lay flowers upon my grave lay 'em on my bed And on the promise the sun will come again put out the light It's a wonderful wonderful wonderful Wonderful life
