Beautiful, Beautiful World

Matt Monro

I see animals and birds and flowers
Every color, every shape and size
Moss and pebbles and a host of wonders
Gleaming everywhere I aim my eyes

So, if ever I'm attacked by boredom
I'll just open up my eyes and see
This diversified, curious, ascinating, bountiful, beautiful, beautiful world

I hear chattering and I hear chirping
Whistling, murmuring and honks and snorts
When I simply take the time to listen
I hear music of a thousand sorts

So, if ever I would rest my eyes
My ears can easily describe to me
This diversified, curious, ascinating, bountiful, beautiful, beautiful world

World, thank you very much
For all I see here, taste and touch
Plus, every whiff, sniff

Still, it's possible the day may come when
Momentarily, the world wears thin
If I'm weary of the world outside me
I can always take a good look in

For along with every cloud and cobweb
I'm emphatically a member of
This diversified, curious, fascinating, bountiful, beautiful, beautiful world I love
