(Steve Miller)

I don't want to live in a world of darkness

I want to live in a world of light

I don't want to live in a world that's heartless

I want to live in a world of sight

Well you know, I want to make the world turn around



Living in a world of justice

Living in a world of shame

Living in a world of freedom

Living in a world of pain

Well you know, I want to make the world turn around



Turn the darkness into light

Turn the hunger into life

Turn the wrong into right

Put an end to the strife

Turn the blindness into sight

Save a human life

Make the world turn around



I want to live in a world of gladness

I want to know what your heart is made of

Don't want to live in a world of sadness

I want to live in a world of love

Well you know, I want to make the world turn around



Living in a world of justice

Living in a world of light

Living in a world of freedom

Living in a world of sight



I want to send a message

To every boy and girl

I want to send a message

About the world

We got to build it up

Stop tearing it down

We got to build it up

Make the world turn around
