lyrics

The 6 o'clock news got you singing the blues
You're so overwhelmed you don't know what to do
But hide in your bed and pretend that you're dead
Oh but won't you look outside?
The leaves on the breeze blanket the streets
Every step is crunching beneath eager feet
Children are playing and the world is changing
Nothing remains the same

This old world ain't so bad
There's magic tricks and funny gifs of fluffy cats
Even all the things that make us sad
Are beautiful

So call up a friend when you're stuck in your head
Go for a walk and come back to your breath
Look at the world like it's made of gold
So precious, so pure
Smile at a stranger and hold open the door
These little acts of kindness mean so much more
All these drops all add up
To make the world a better place

This old world ain't so bad
There's magic tricks and funny gifs of fluffy cats
Even all the things that make us sad
Are beautiful
This old world ain't so bleak
With all your friends you get to share some tasty treats
And have a dance party to some funky beats
It's a miracle
