What A World, What A World

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I could stay in California Stay a little dim But there's a light bulb on in my head I might move out east to some college town Study big, thick books--turn my fortunes around Roll, L.A. River, roll And take me to a better world Ooh, to where the streets are lined with gold [Verse 2] Now, I could drive some old car Through the desert tonight Sleep on hotel sheets, all soft and white I will stop at the Mystery Spot See water run uphill I know I can make it, I'm convinced I will Roll, L.A. River, roll And take me to a better world Where the sun, it shines all day And the children laugh and play [Chorus] (What a world, what a world, what a world) I can see it all in my dreams (What a world, what a wonderful world) (What a world, what a world) And I really wanna make that scene (What a world, what a wonderful world) Where the people are nice And the air is clean What a beautiful world it must be [Bridge] I believe I have found the river of life (Oh river, oh river) It flows like blood through my veins I hear a pounding like a heartbeat I can hear the thunder bringing the diamond rain [Verse 3] I could stay in California But I'd die in these streets There's a pearly mansion here in my head I see a light like the sun where the children run If I could move these legs, I'd turn my fortune around Roll, L.A. River, roll Roll on over me To where the streets are lined with gold And God is on His throne [Chorus] (What a world, what a world, what a world) I can see it all in my dreams (What a world, what a wonderful world) (What a world, what a world) And I really wanna make that scene (What a world, what a wonderful world) Where the people are nice And the air is clean (What a world, what a world, what a world) I can see it all in my dreams (What a world, what a wonderful world) (What a world, what a world) And I really wanna make that scene (What a world, what a wonderful world) Where the people are nice And the air is so clean What a beautiful world What a wonderful world It must be
