Verse 1 I walked through cities made of gold Through mountain winds and winter cold I crossed the seas, I crossed the rain And every road still knew my name I heard the old church bells at night Saw desert stars burning bright And every face along the way Left a little light to stay Chorus Oh the world is wide and beautiful Rivers deep and mountains tall From the endless sky to the ocean blue I found a piece of me in every view And the wind keeps calling me again Through the valleys and the distant lands With my heart alive and my soul set free The whole wide world keeps singing to me Verse 2 I danced where southern fires burned I loved, I lost, I lived, I learned Through ancient roads and crowded trains I carried hope through joy and pain The snow, the sun, the pouring rain Every road became a song again And every place beneath the sky Made me feel more alive Chorus Oh the world is wide and beautiful Rivers deep and mountains tall From the endless sky to the ocean blue I found a piece of me in every view And the wind keeps calling me again Through the valleys and the distant lands With my heart alive and my soul set free The whole wide world keeps singing to me Bridge (slow, emotional) No matter where these feet may roam Every road can lead you home And every stranger, every shore Leaves your heart a little more Final Chorus (bigger) Oh the world is wide and beautiful Full of wonder, full of soul And I will follow every dream I see While the whole wide world sings to me
