I have seen red for green, dead soldiers too I've seen men kill, coulda been me or you And I think to myself: what a wonderful world

I have seen guys in blue, sieze pounds of white The rich rule the day, the poor starve at night And I think to myself: what a wonderful world

The serpent and the angel so deadly in disguise And all sorts of races of people drop like flies I've seen friends making friends, saying "The hell with you" be jealous, hating on you I've seen babies dying, can't watch them grow Brothers at war in every ghetto And I think to myself What a wonderful world Yes, I think to myself What a wonderful world Ohh, yeahhh
