Verse 1:
I see trees of green,
Red roses too,
Reminding me,
of a world I once knew,
And I think to myself,
What have they done to this world?
Verse 2:
I see shadows forming,
Darkness closing in,
The laughter of children,
Now fading like a hymn,
And I think to myself,
What have they done to this world?
Bridge:
The whispers of the past,
Echo in the night,
As we reach for hope,
In a fading light,
I see strangers passing by,
With eyes full of pain,
They’re really crying,
For love we can’t regain.
Verse 3:
I see babies die,
I watch them go,
Millions of faces,
I'll ever know,
And I think to myself,
What have they done to this world?
And yet we say to ourselves,
What a wonderful world.

(Verse 1)
I see trees of green,
Red roses too,
Reminding me,
of a world I once knew,
And I think to myself,
What have they done to this world?
(Verse 2)
I see skies of blue,
And clouds of white,
The bright blessed day,
The dark sacred night,
And I think to myself,
What have they done to this world?
(Bridge)
The colors of the rainbow,
So pretty in the sky,
Are also on the faces,
Of people going by,
I see friends shaking hands,
Saying, "How do you do?”,
They're really saying,
I love you.
(Verse 3)
I see babies die,
I watch them go,
Millions of faces,
I'll ever know,
And I think to myself,
What have they done to this world?
And yet we say to ourselves,
What a wonderful world.
