There's so much injustice here
I see it every day
Time and time we'll try to change
And never find a way

We'll climb the mountains far and wide
To find the truth behind the lies
Here I am just searching for some peace

Just watching the world go by
Counting the clouds up in the sky
I'm hoping for a new tomorrow
Without sadness and sorrows in my life

There is so much hate around
We need to find some love
So much disillusion
I just got to rise above

There is so much going down
To keep my feet on solid ground
Got to find an answer to my prayers

Just watching the world go by
Counting the clouds up in the sky
Getting all those complications
And those mad situations out of my life

Just watching the world go by
Seeing all the lonely people pass me by
I'm hoping for a new tomorrow
Without sadness and sorrows in my life

My life, in my life, in my life, ooh yeah
In my life, oh yeah
Come along now, now, now, now
Come along now, now, now, now

You need to spend some time to look into yourself
And watch the river flow into the sea
You travel down a highway, not knowing where it goes
And listening to the music as it flows

Just watching the world go by
Counting the clouds up in the sky
Getting all those complications
And those mad situations out of my life

Just watching the world go by
Seeing all the lonely people pass me by
I'm hoping for a new tomorrow
Without sadness and sorrows in my life

Just watching the world go by
Counting the clouds up in the sky
Getting all those complications
And those mad situations out of my life

Watching the world go by
Seeing all the lonely people pass me by
I'm hoping for a new tomorrow
Without sadness and sorrows in my life
