Displaying signs of life
From a bed of golden sound
A new found revelation

As freedom takes your hand
Would you like to stay forever
See the lonely people cry


Or stare into the limelight
Whilst the helpless creatures die

And then you tell me it's a wonderful world
And then you tell me it's a wonderful world



Can I live through this deception
Am I punishing myself

I will crawl in your direction
To the edge of the world
Staring at the sunset

The beauty of an amber sky
In a second I start reliving
What has happened and I question why

And then you tell me it's a wonderful world
And then you tell me it's a wonderful world


I can hardly wait, my watering eyes
Life is bleeding me dry - I try
You'll never believe it

Put a warm smile on an ice cold face

It's a highlight of the day

When tears are washed away
By the rain drops in the sun-shine


Against the white wall stands
A lonely shell of a man
He cries with anger, but once again falls silent


Time to leave - time to go
It tears your heart out mire than you'd know

Then as the darkness takes the day
A thousand people fade away
