Beautiful World

what if all the constellations were railway stations
i’d buy us a ticket to the northern star
once we got up there
we’d look down at the people
looking up with their telescopes to where we are
we’d say ohhhhhhh ohhhhhhh
what a beautiful world we live in
what a beautiful world we’ve been given
what a beautiful beautiful world
then the conductor would say next stop orion
we’d wave out the window at the moon way below
step on to the platform and we’d hand them our passports
collect all our luggage and we’d say hello
buy a postcard from the gift shop
and mail it home
ohhhhhhh ohhhhhhh
what a beautiful world we live in
what a beautiful world we’ve been given
what a beautiful beautiful world
ohhhhhhhh ohhhhhhhhhh
what a beautiful world we live in
what a beautiful world we’ve been given
what a beautiful beautiful world
ooh ooh
what a beautiful world we live in
what a beautiful world we’ve been given
what a beautiful beautiful world
what a beautiful beautiful world
