Innocence

What a wonderful world this is

We’ve got tall buildings that touch the sky

Airplanes and trains to ride

Oh, you can get almost anything you want to buy

And medicine to save a life

But don’t be fooled by the good things

Oh oh oh, everything here has got its price

And to get far you’ve got to swallow your pride

Forget your values, wave your beliefs goodbye

This world is only wonderful on the outside

That’s the reason I’m still alive

I’m adapting to the system

I’ve learned to survive

But lover you’re too innocent

To see the truth in your eyes

So I'll protect you from the vultures and wolves in disguise

Because lover you’re too innocent

To see the truth in your eyes

This world is only wonderful on the outside.

What a wonderful world this is

All the pointless wars and the countless murders

Drugs on the street with kids around the corner

Women getting beat where men have all the power

Some places that discriminate the coloured

Mother nature shedding tears mixed with thunder

And Love’s being replaced by fear and terror

The spirit of giving consumed by greed and hunger

No place to raise a son or a daughter

Yes, this world is only wonderful on the outside

But lover you’re too innocent

To see the truth in your eyes

So I’ll guide you through the illusions and guard you with my life

This world is only wonderful on the outside

Because we make the world on the inside

Yeah, we make the world on the inside.
