Suddenly I woke this morning
The light was dawning on me
Tumbling from my bed
And scratching my head
I looked out to see

Bright new day, here to stay
People all around
Not making a sound
But taking the air
Trying not to choke
Breathing the smoke
They leave everywhere
Blown away, bright new day
[CHORUS]
The world is ours
The place we all share together
And all together
There´s such a lot to share
Let´s keep out world a fair place
For people to live in
And we can live in
A world for which we care
Why does everybody try to

Ruin everything that really
Matters in this world today
Don´t they know that
This is our world
This is our world
Everybody´s choking
While the kids are busy smoking
People really must be joking
If they think it doesn´t happen here
Yes, it happens in our world
Suddenly it seems the ocean
Has lost it´s motion for me
Troubled waters gently gliding
A black cloud sliding by me
Wish I knew what to do
Take a look ahead
Don´t bury your head
Like an ostrich below

Everybody stop blowing the top
Off our wonderful world
Everyone having fun
[repeat CHORUS 2x]
Why does everybody try to
Ruin everything that really
Matters in this world today
Don´t they know that
This is our world
This is our world
Everybody´s choking
While the kids are busy smoking
People really must be joking
If they think it doesn´t happen here
Yes, it happens in our world
Na na na na...
It´s our world
It´s our world

Na na na na...
It´s our world
It´s our world
Na na na na...
