Lyrics
In this world there’s a whole lot of trou ble, ba by; in this world there’s a whole lot of pain.
In this world there’s a whole lot of trou ble, but a whole lot of ground to gain.
Why take when you could be giv ing?
Why watch as the world goes by?
It’s a hard e nough life to be liv ing.
Why
walk when you can fly?
(F#)In this (B)world there’s a (E)whole lot of sor row; (F#)in this world there’s a (E)whole lot of shame.
(F#)In this world there’s a (E)whole lot of sor row and a (G#m)whole lot of ground to (E)gain.
When you spend your whole far life (B)wish ing,
ris ing (C#m)want ing and (B)won der ing (E)why,
it’s a (B)long e nough the life to be (E)liv ing.
Why
(G#m)walk when you can fly?
(E)fly
(F#)high?
(F#)high?
