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...
