Turned into my worst phobia A crazy man's utopia If you're lost no one can show ya But it sure was glad to know ya Only poor boys take a chance On the garden's song and dance Feel her flowers as they wrap around But only smart boys do without

'Cause I'm still breathing 'Cause I'm still breathing on my own My head's above the rain and roses Oh, I'm still alive Making my way away Making my way, away, away Just shine a light into the wreckage, so far away, away My way to you I'm like a child

Take me down to the paradise city Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty Oh won't you please take me home So far away Take me home, yeah yeah Take me home (oh won't you please take me home) Take me home Just a urchin livin' under the street

What a wonderful world And I think to myself The colors of the rainbow So pretty in the sky I see friends shaking hands, saying how do you do I see trees of green Red roses too I see them bloom For me and you

And I think to myself, what a wonderful world. I hear babies cry, I watch them grow And I think to myself, what a wonderful world I see trees of green, red roses too I see em bloom, for me and for you I see skies of blue, clouds of white Bright blessed

From the coming dawn, That seeks to drown us in the flames But if we sell our soul, For the chance of gold, Then we'll rue each passing day! Come on lets Save our lives, The city grieves, like widows clasping Folded flags against their hearts

Don't you cry tonight And don't you cry tonight There's a heaven above you baby And please remember Don't you ever cry Don't you cry Talk to me softly There's something in your eyes Don't hang your head in sorrow
