Look around you... see the beauty that surrounds you
Feel the glow of just being alive..

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

Look inside you... do you see an empty space deep down you
Feel the need for someone to love...

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

Have you ever heard... have you ever tried
Ever really felt... ever really touched... ever really loved?...

The colours of the rainbow
So pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people passing by
I see friends shaking hands, asking "How do you do?"
They're really saying "I love you"

Don't despair now...
There's a reason to this life, you'll learn how...

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

It's by emptying the cup that you filled in to the brim
It's by giving what you've got that you realize your dream
And most of all
Be yourself and live...

Yes, I think to myself
What a wonderful world
