The world is such a wonderful place
When we stop to look
What wonderful things words can be
When we read a book

We have been given such wonderful things
From the Lord above
All of us were sent these gifts
Wrapped up in his love

He gave us the plants and trees
And the birds and bees
Lest not forget the rivers and seas
All the animals on the open plains
And for all the knowledge
For inventions like cars and trains

But the most wonderful gift to us all
Are all the babies that are born
Who will grow up so strong and tall
But first they have to learn how to crawl

From children into adults that are worldly wise
To see what we have seen with their adult eyes
At the wonderful world of which we all live
And instead of keep taking, see what we can give

The world is indeed a wonderful place
So remember its gifts with a smile on your face
And thank the Lord for all the joy it brings
And praise the world for its wonderful gifts
