Watching the World
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Rockets Launch Us to Outer Space
Far Away From This Human Wasteland
We're Bringing Heaven to Other Worlds
Abandoning the Home Fires of Our Birth
There Are Fools Who Believe We Can't Live Here As One
There Are Wise Men Who Say It Still Can Be Done
Chorus:
I'm Watching the World
I'm Watching the Change in Power
I'm Watching the World
Are We Building a Future Or Just Standing Still?
We Will Harvest the Fields of Wheat
For a Promise of Food to Eat
Forging Plows to Make Swords For War
We Can Stop This Fighting and Open the Door
Only Fools Could Believe We Can't Live Here As One
Who's to Say It Cannot Be Done
Chorus:
Who Is Watching This World?
Who Is Changing the Balance of Power?
I'm Watching the World
Are We Building a Future Or Just Standing Still?
Vamp
Watching the World
Only Fools Would Believe We Can't Live Here As One
Who's to Say It Cannot Be Done

Watching the World
Who Is Changing the Balance of Power?

Are We Building a Future Or Just Standing Still? (Just Standing Still)
Watching the World
Who Is Changing the Balance of Power?
We're Watching the World
We're Building a Future
We're Not Standing Still
I'm Watching the World
Who Is Changing the Balance of Power?
I'm Watching the World
We're Building a Future
I'm Not Standing Still
I'm Watching This World
