It's A Beautiful World (Now You Are Here) - Paul Brady

Masks on our faces

Bad news on the radio

Guns in the classroom

Lessons in doom

Flames in the forests

Poisoning the air we breathe

Memories of roses

Too burnt to bloom

I’ll just keep on thinkin'

This whole world is beautiful

How can it not be, when you are here?

I’ll go on believin'

People can be wonderful

Each time you’re close to me, it’s clear

It’s a beautiful world now you are here

And if I appear delusional

My optimism doesn’t mean

I’m not aware

Or I don’t care

But I’ll just keep on thinkin'

This whole world is beautiful

How can it not be, when you are here?

I’ll go on believin'

People can be wonderful

Each time you’re close to me, it’s clear

I whisper of hope to calm my fear

It’s a beautiful world now you are here
