[verse one] [one bar of soulful Bari sax] The world would be a better place if we all danced If we shook off all our problems and took a chance We could throw back our heads in laughter I’m talking loud and funny laughter I do believe the world would be a better place [Verse 2] The world would be a better place if we took our time If we lived in the moment It would feel so fine If we shut out all the noises And stopped to smell the roses I do believe the world would be a better place [Chorus] Do you ever wish that you could fly Get up high enough to touch the sky And wave your hands above our nation And calm down all the tension And asked ourselves why not Instead of why [Verse 3] The world would be a better place if we smiled Do you think we could do it for a while? We could maybe forgive all our sins And stand up proudly and grin I do believe the world would be a better place [Verse 4] The world would be a better place if we all talked If we shook off all our problems and took a walk I bet we’d find things that we share and show how much we care I do believe the world would be a better place if we just talked
