Got a package full of wishes
A time machine, a magic wand
A globe made out of gold

No instructions or commandments
Laws of gravity or
Indecision's to uphold

Printed on the box I see
Acme's build a world to be
Take a chance, grab a piece
Help me to believe it

What kind of world do you want?
Think anything
Let's start at the start
Build a masterpiece
Be careful what you wish for
History starts now

Should there be people or peoples
Money, funny pedestals for fools who never pay
Raise your army, choose your steeple
Don't be shy, the satellites can look the other way

Lose the earthquakes, keep the faults
Fill the oceans without the salt
Let every man own his own hand
Can you dig it, baby?

What kind of world do you want?
Think anything
Let's start at the start
Build a masterpiece
Be careful what you wish for
History starts now

Sunlight's on the bridge
Sunlight's on the way
Tomorrow's calling

There's more to this than love

What kind of world do you want
What kind of world do you want

What kind of world do you want
Think anything
Let's start at the start
Build a masterpiece, yeah

History starts now

Starts now
Be careful what you wish for
Start now
Now
