It's A Beautiful World (Now You Are Here)

Masks on our faces
Bad news on the radio
Guns in the classroom
Lessons in doom
Flames in the forests
Poisoning the air we breathe
Memories of roses
Too burnt to bloom
I’ll just keep on thinkin'
This whole world is beautiful
How can it not be, when you are here?
I’ll go on believin'
People can be wonderful
Each time you’re close to me, it’s clear
It’s a beautiful world now you are here
And if I appear delusional
My optimism doesn’t mean
I’m not aware
Or I don’t care
But I’ll just keep on thinkin'
This whole world is beautiful
How can it not be, when you are here?
I’ll go on believin'
People can be wonderful
Each time you’re close to me, it’s clear
I whisper of hope to calm my fear
It’s a beautiful world now you are here
