I'm gonna write a song that the whole wide world can sing
It's gonna be about sunshine and praise every living thing
It's gonna be about love the one thing the world needs a lot more of
I'm gonna write a song that the whole wide world can sing
Folks sit around with their face in a frown and gripe about the way things are
They're happy to recieve but they hardly ever want to give
I'm so tired of complaining so in the time remaining
I'm gonna do my best to make the world a better place to live
I'm gonna write a song...
steel - guitar
Our fourfathers had only faith in God and they willed to make the nation strong
So the old time religion could help 'em to find a better way
We need more soul saving and a lot more people flag waving
There's no better time for us to start than today
I'm gonna write a song...
I'm gonna write a song...
