wonderful world

  it’s a wonderful world
  and you take and you give
  and the sun fills the sky
  in the space where you live
  
  it’s a day full of dreams
  it’s a dream of a day
  and the joy that it brings
  nearly sweeps her away
  
  it’s a wonderful world
  as the buildings fall down
  and you quicken your step
  ‘til your feet leave the ground
  and you’re soaring above
  all the sorrow below
  and you’re falling in love
  with those you don’t know
  
  and your heart feels so wide
  and your heart fills so strong
  it was never a place
  that you felt you belonged
  
  it’s a wonderful world
  full of wonderful things
  and the people fall down
  and abandon their dreams
  
  (i hear him, he’s talking out loud
  sometimes he whistles while walking
  how could he know any better?
  i weep for him, i weep for him now)
  
  it’s a wonderful world
  it’s a real crying shame
  cos she’s hurting herself
  in a violent way
  and there’s people she knows
  that won’t even try
  and they’re trapped in their lives
  feeling terrified
  and it’s in times like these
  that she promised to call
  but the scale of our love
  is diminished and small
  
  it’s a wonderful world
  and she doesn’t know why
  she wakes up each day
  and continues to cry
  
  (he’s sleeping his troubles away
  he’s finding it too hard to bear
  i’m with him every step of the way
  i weep for him, i weep for him now)
  
  it’s a wonderful world
  and you take and you give
  and the sun fills the sky
  in the space where you live
