Wonderful World
D.Sylvian Lyrics

Itâ??s a wonderful world
The world is full of wonder and beauty

And you take and you give
Life is a balance of giving and taking

And the sun fills the sky
The sun is a symbol of hope and light

In the space where you live
Life happens where you are, in the present moment

Itâ??s a day full of dreams
Each day is full of possibilities and opportunities

Itâ??s a dream of a day
Every day can be dream-like and magical

And the joy that it brings
The simple things in life can bring great joy

Nearly sweeps her away
The beauty of life can be overwhelming

As the buildings fall down
Even in times of chaos and destruction, there is still beauty

And you quicken your step
In times of danger, we must act quickly to protect ourselves

â??Til your feet leave the ground
Sometimes we must take bold actions to survive

And youâ??re soaring above
Rising above our fear and pain can be liberating

All the sorrow below
There is always sorrow and pain in the world

And youâ??re falling in love
Connecting with and finding meaning in the world can be a source of love

With those you donâ??t know
We can find love and connection with strangers and new experiences

And your heart feels so wide
Love and connection can open up our hearts

And your heart fills so strong
The power of love can be overwhelming

It was never a place
Home is not always a physical place

That you felt you belonged
Feeling like you belong is not always easy or automatic

Full of wonderful things
The world is full of amazing and wondrous things

And the people fall down
Even the strongest can fall and struggle

And abandon their dreams
Sometimes we abandon our dreams due to fear or other obstacles

Itâ??s a real crying shame
It is sad to see people suffer and give up on their dreams

'Cause sheâ??s hurting herself
Individuals can harm themselves and perpetuate their own suffering

In a violent way
Violence can take many forms, including self-harm

And thereâ??s people she knows
The people closest to us can sometimes be the hardest to reach

That wonâ??t even try
Some individuals refuse to seek help or support

And theyâ??re trapped in their lives
Feelings of entrapment can arise in many different circumstances

Feeling terrified
Fear can paralyze and prevent us from seeking help or change

And itâ??s in times like these
In times of crisis, we need to reach out and seek support

That she promised to call
Promising to ask for help is an important first step in seeking support

But the scale of our love
The scale and depth of our love can vary from person to person

Is diminished and small
Feeling unlovable or unworthy can be a barrier to seeking support

And she doesnâ??t know why
Sometimes we can't explain our suffering or pain

She wakes up each day
Every day is a new opportunity to find hope and healing

And continues to cry
Sorrow and pain can be difficult to overcome

Heâ??s sleeping his troubles away
Sometimes we avoid our problems by sleeping or numbing ourselves

Heâ??s finding it too hard to bear
Pain and suffering can feel overwhelming and unbearable

Iâ??m with him every step of the way
Support and love from others can help us through difficult times

I weep for him, I weep for him now
Seeing others suffer can be painful and emotional for us as well
