Maybe you'll answer or maybe you won't
So I keep on calling, call calling your number or maybe I won't

I wanna see and hear, I wanna see and hear
Don't cover my eyes, don't cover my ears
I wanna see and hear, I wanna see and hear
Don't cover my eyes, don't cover my ears

We could have been a world
We could have been one
We could have been everybody, trying to get along
Yah, we could have been a world
We could have been one
We could have been everybody, drawn together

I'm waiting in silence, I'm waiting for you world
To come together
But I'm getting impatient, I'm getting worn down
For you to come together

I wanna see and hear, I wanna see and hear
Don't cover my eyes, don't cover my ears
I wanna see and hear, I wanna see and hear
Don't cover my eyes, don't cover my ears

We could have been a world
We could have been one
We could have been everybody, trying to get along
Yah, we could have been a world
We could have been one
We could have been everybody, drawn together

You could have been listening, you could have been here
You could have been giving and you could have cared
You could have been listening, you could have been here
You could have been giving and you could have cared

We could have been a world
We could have been one
We could have been everybody, trying to get along
We could have been a world
We could have been one
We could have been everybody, drawn together

Yah, it could have been good, yah, it could have been great
Take a look at yourself it's not me that you hate
You can leave all behind, you can put it on the line
Just put it on the line

It's a beautiful world, it's a beautiful world
It's a beautiful world, now just trying to get along
It's a beautiful world, it's a beautiful world
It's a beautiful world, now just trying to get along
