Look around, my brother
Theres a world at your command
Youd realize it
If youd only lift your head up from your hands
Sail away from your troubles
Free as a bird up in the sky
Paradise is waiting in your mind
Aint no use sat complaining
Woman, that life dont go our way
Idly wishing that tomorrow
Will come save us from today
Being tired of living with no money in your hand
Trying to find someone to understand
Its a mean ol world
But its up to us
To make it heaven, here and now
Its a mean ol world
But its up to us
To make it heaven, here and now
So come on, lets get together
Sharing in love and happiness
Dah etc, whooo etc
Yeah its a mean ol world
But its up to us
To make it heaven, here and now
Whooo etc, dana dana etc
