I hear the music of the world a-turnin'
Can't you hear the sound of the world a-turnin'?
If you stop and listen, you can hear things grow
You can have music wherever you go

I hear the music of the world a-turnin'
There are some folks laughing, there are some folks crying
Kids playing in the streets sound sweeter than a choir
All you gotta do is listen to 

Hear the music of the world a-turnin'
Can't you hear the sweet sound of the world a-turnin'
If you stop, look and listen, you can almost hear things grow
You can have music wherever you go

I hear a symphony of traffic in the city
There are horns a-blowing, there are heels a-clicking
Hear those ashcans rattling as the sun begins to rise
All you gotta do is listen to 

Hear the music of the world a-turnin'
Can't you hear the sweet sound of the world a-turnin'
If you stop, look and listen, you can almost hear things grow
You can have music wherever you go

Wind got a special song for each and every day
It's got the waves a-dancing and the thunder clapping
Now, don't just ignore it, there's a concert all around you
All you gotta do is listen to 

Hear the music of the world a-turnin'
Can't you hear the sweet sound of the world a-turnin'
If you stop, look and listen, you can almost hear things grow
You can have music wherever you go
You can have music wherever you go
