The day the world gets 'round
to understanding where it is,
Using all it's found,
to help each other, hand in hand
The day the world gets 'round
to understanding where it's gone
Losing so much ground
killing each other, hand in hand
Such foolishness in man
I want no part of their plan - OH NO
If you're the destructive kind
Now I'm working from day to day
As I don't want to be like you
I look for the pure of heart
And the ones that have made a start,
But Lord, there are just a few
who bow before you,
in silence they pray,
Oh how they pray for the day the
world gets 'round
Using all they've found
To help each other, hand in hand
The Day The World Gets 'RoundAnd if she asks you why,ÂÂÂ
you can tell her that I told youÂÂÂ
That I'm tired of castles in the air.ÂÂÂ
I've got a dream I want the world to shareÂÂÂ
And castle walls just lead me to despair.ÂÂÂ
Hills of forest green where the mountains touch the sky,ÂÂÂ
A dream come true, I'll live there till I die.ÂÂÂ
I'm asking you to say my last goodbye.ÂÂÂ
The love we knew ain't worth another try.ÂÂÂ
Save me from all the trouble and the pain.ÂÂÂ
I know I'm weak, but I can't face that girl again.ÂÂÂ
Tell her the reasons why I can't remain,ÂÂÂ
Perhaps she'll understand if you tell it to her plain.ÂÂÂ
But how can words express the feel of sunlight in the morning,ÂÂÂ
In the hills, away from city strife.ÂÂÂ
I need a country woman for my wife;ÂÂÂ
I'm city born, but I love the country life.ÂÂÂ
For I cannot be part of the cocktail generation:ÂÂÂ
Partners waltz, devoid of all romance.ÂÂÂ
The music plays and everyone must dance.ÂÂÂ
I'm bowing out. I need a second chance.ÂÂÂ
Save me from all the trouble and the pain.ÂÂÂ
I know I'm weak, but I can't face that girl again.ÂÂÂ
Tell her the reasons why I can't remain,ÂÂÂ
Perhaps she'll understand if you tell it to her plain.ÂÂÂ
And if she asks you why, you can tell her that I told youÂÂÂ
That I'm tired of castles in the air.ÂÂÂ
I've got a dream I want the world to shareÂÂÂ
And castle walls just lead me to despair.
