Lyrics
In this world there's a whole lot of trouble,
baby; in this world there's a whole lot of pain.
In this world there's a whole lot of trouble,
but a whole lot of ground to gain.
Why take when you could be giving?
Why watch as the world goes by?
It's a hard enough life to be living.
Why walk when you can fly?
(F#)In this (B)world there's a (E)whole lot of sorrow;
(F#)in this world there's a (E)whole lot of shame.
(F#)In this world there's a (E)whole lot of sorrow and a (G#m)whole lot of ground to (E)gain.
When you spend your whole life (B)wishing,
rising (C#m)wanting and (B)wondering (E)why,
it's a (B)long enough the life to be (E)living.
Why (G#m)walk when you can (E)fly?
(E)fly (F#)high?
(F#)high?
