What A World, What A World

I could stay in California -- stay a little dim

But there's a light bulb on in my head

I might move out east to some college town

Study big thick books -- turn my fortune around

Roll L.A. river roll

and take me to a better world

ooooh ____________

to where the streets are lined with gold

Now I could drive some old car through the desert tonight

Sleep on hotel sheets all soft and white

I will stop at the Mystery Spot, see water run up hill

I know I can make it, I'm convinced I will

Roll L.A. river roll

and take me to a better world

Where the sun shines all day

and the children laugh and play

(What a world, what a world)

I can see it all in my dreams

(What a world, what a wonderful world)

And I really wanna make that scene

Where the people are nice, and the air is clean

What a beautiful world it must be

I believe I have found the river of life

It flows like blood through my veins

I hear a pounding like a heart beat

I can hear the thunder bringing the diamond rain

I could stay in California, but I'd die in these streets

There's a pearly mansion here in my head

I see a light like the sun where the children run

If I could move these legs, I'd turn my fortunes around

Roll L.A. river roll

Roll over me

To where the streets are lined with gold

and God is on His throne
