This heartfelt song reflects on the beauty of nature while simultaneously questioning the impact of human actions on the world. It serves as a poignant reminder of the fragility of peace and love in our lives amidst chaos, conflict, and division.
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 wars raging,
And cries of despair,
The shattered dreams,
Of a world that's unfair,
And I think to myself,
What have they done to this world?
Bridge
The voices of the lonely,
So lost in the fray,
Are echoed in the silence,
As we drift further away,
I see strangers turning backs,
Scrolling through the feeds,
They're really saying,
I’m lost in my needs.
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.

Rewrite the lyrics for verse 2 and the bridge to fit the theme of verse1.
(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.
verse 2 should talk about wars and world strife. The bridge should talk about how people are lonly and divided by politics and social media.
