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 see skies of blue and clouds of white The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night And I think to myself What a wonderful world
The colors of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky Are also on the faces of people goin’ by I see friends shakin’ hands, sayin’ “How do you do?” They’re really sayin’, “I love you.”
I hear babies cry, I watch them grow They’ll learn much more than I’ll ever know And I think to myself What a wonderful world
Yes, I think to myself What a wonderful world
I hear babies cry, I watch them grow They’ll learn much more than I’ll ever know And I think to myself What a wonderful world
Yes, I think to myself What a wonderful world What a wonderful world
Had to have high, high hopes for a living Shooting for the stars when I couldn’t make a killing Didn’t have a dime but I always had a vision Always had high, high hopes Had to have high, high hopes for a living Didn’t know how but I always had a feeling I was gonna be that one in a million Always had high, high hopes
Mama said Fulfill the prophecy Be something greater Go make a legacy Manifest destiny Back in the days We wanted everything, wanted everything Mama said Burn your biographies Rewrite your history Light up your wildest dreams Museum victories, everyday We wanted everything, wanted everything
Mama said don’t give up, it’s a little complicated All tied up, no more love and I’d hate to see you waiting
Had to have high, high hopes for a living Shooting for the stars when I couldn’t make a killing Didn’t have a dime but I always had a vision Always had high, high hopes Had to have high, high hopes for a living Didn’t know how but I always had a feeling I was gonna be that one in a million Always had high, high hopes
Mama said It’s uphill for oddities The stranger crusaders Ain’t ever wannabes The weird and the novelties Don’t ever change We wanted everything, wanted everything
Stay up on that rise Stay up on that rise and never come down Stay up on that rise Stay up on that rise and never come down
Mama said don’t give up, it’s a little complicated All tied up, no more love and I’d hate to see you waiting They say it’s all been done but they haven’t seen the best of me So I got one more run and it’s gonna be a sight to see
Had to have high, high hopes for a living Shooting for the stars when I couldn’t make a killing Didn’t have a dime but I always had a vision Always had high, high hopes
Had to have high, high hopes for a living Didn’t know how but I always had a feeling I was gonna be that one in a million Always had high, high hopes Had to have high, high hopes for a living Shooting for the stars when I couldn’t make a killing Didn’t have a dime but I always had a vision Always had high, high hopes Had to have high, high hopes for a living Didn’t know how but I always had a feeling I was gonna be that one in a million Always had high, high hopes

Sunset is an angel weeping Holding out a bloody sword No matter how I squint I cannot Make out what it’s pointing toward Sometimes you feel like you’ve lived too long The days drip slowly on the page And you catch yourself Pacing the cage
I’ve proved who I am so many times, The magnetic strip’s worn thin And each time I was someone else And everyone was taken in. Powers chatter in high places Stir up eddies in the dust of rage Set me to pacing the cage.
I never knew what you all wanted So I gave you everything. All that I could pillage All the spells that I could sing It’s as if the thing were written In the constitution of the age Sooner or later you’ll wind up Pacing the cage
Sometimes the best map will not guide you You can’t see what’s round the bend. Sometimes the road leads through dark places Sometimes the darkness is your friend. Today these eyes scan bleached-out land, For the coming of the outbound stage Pacing the cage…
