Seems to me 
rarely do we live as we once had dreamed.  
Holding on to memories of what could be.    
Seems to me seldom do we take 
the time to believe 
there could be some options 
to the life we lead.                

CHORUS:
Seems to me somewhere we get lost along the way.
Planning for the future, we lose sight of today.
Seems to me somehow we could find a way to live
where dreams and reality could co-exist.
Surely you’d admit we need a world like this.
 
Seems to me if we take a look beyond what we see.
We would find a world inside with all we need.
Seems to me there will come a time 
when people will see
the value of one’s life is set internally.

REPEAT CHORUS

Sometimes I wonder why 
there’s not enough love in the world.
Man will search and man will find 
whatever he calls his jewels.
Seem to me we spend our lives 
reaching out for what lies within.
Maybe how we treat ourselves 
is where honest love begins.
 
REPEAT CHORUS

We need a world like this.
