The world as we know it.
The world as we know it, can be a great many things.
It can be a joyful place, spreading happiness as she sings.
It can be mother nature, us basking in the sunshine that she brings.
The world as we know it, can be a great many things.
The world as we know it, can be an amazing place to be.
The beauty shown all around, can teach us to be free.
But only if we are willing to open up our eyes and see.
The world as we know it, can be an amazing place to be.
The world as we know it, can be a very hard place to live.
If we don't learn to embrace it, then we will never learn to forgive.
It's not about what we can take, it's about what we can give.
The world as we know it, can be a very hard place to live.
The world as we know it, can bring us sadness everywhere.
It can bring people down, leaving us all in incurable despair.
It can remind us of all our failures, making us acutely aware.
The world as we know it, can bring us sadness everywhere.
The world as we know it, holds our future to everything.
It is our divine liberation, letting our freedom ring.
Letting us feel each other's love, letting us feel like a king.
The world as we know it, holds our future to everything.
The world as we know it, is our key to help those all around.
And it is in the helping of others, that our own freedom can be found.
As we help build up each other, we realize that we are no longer bound.
The world as we know it, is our key to help those all around.
