How beautiful the world is(en)

[Verse 1] The world is beautiful The grass is alive at my feet The birds are free in the sky The beast wanders off to the meadow at dawn The river brings a cool breeze The stone remembers the rain And the sun caresses the earth Like a hand that protects from all pain [Pre-Chorus] But our words are tangled like knots In our gazes, there's only smoke We're close, but it's so hard Burning with the same fire, yet so far apart [Verse 1] The world is beautiful The grass is alive at my feet The birds are free in the sky The beast wanders off to the meadow at dawn The river brings a cool breeze The stone remembers the rain And the sun caresses the earth Like a hand that protects from all pain [Pre-Chorus] But our words are tangled like knots In our gazes, there's only smoke We're close, but it's so hard Burning with the same fire, yet so far apart [Pre-Chorus] But our words are tangled like knots In our gazes, there's only smoke We're close, but it's so hard Burning with the same fire, yet so far apart [Chorus] How beautiful the world is How beautiful the world is Birds and beasts — they are free How beautiful the world is How beautiful the world is But we don't hear each other, you see [Bridge] Give me water from your palms Give me the name of a blade of grass I'll throw away the evil stones Into the deep tracks of the past Let our hearts become softer Let our voices become plain So we, like the forest and sky, Can find one question again [Final Chorus] How beautiful the world is How beautiful the world is Birds and beasts — they are free How beautiful the world is How beautiful the world is But we don't hear each other, you see How beautiful the world is How beautiful the world is Let the sound of the world be heard by you and me
