Folks sit around with their face in a frown and gape about the way things they are
They're happy to recieve but they hardly ever want to give
Well I'm so tired of complaining so in the time remaining
I'm gonna do my best to make the world a better place to live
I'm gonna write a song that the whole wide world can sing
It's gonna be about sunshine praise every living thing
It's gonna be about love the one thing the world needs a lot more of
I'm gonna write a song that the whole wide world can sing
[ piano - acguitar ]
All our fourfathers had only faith in God and they willed to make the nation strong
So the old time religion could help 'em to find a better way
We need more soul saving and a lot more people flag waving
And there's no better time for us to start than today
I'm gonna write a song
Let me tell ye I'm gonna write a song
Everybody sing I'm gonna write a song
