Oh What A World
Kacey Musgraves Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's all kinds of magic, it's hard to believe
Oh, what a world, I don't wanna leave
There's all kinds of magic, it's hard to believe
Northern lights in our skies
Plants that grow and open your mind
Things that swim with a neon glow
These are real things
These are real things
Oh, what a world, don't wanna leave
All kinds of magic all around us, it's hard to believe
Thank God it's not too good to be true
Oh, what a world, and then there is you
Did I know you once in another life?
Are we here just once or a billion times?
Well, I wish I knew, but it doesn't matter
'Cause you're here right now, and I know what I feel
And these are real things
Yeah, these are real things
Oh, what a world, don't wanna leave
All kinds of magic all around us, it's hard to believe
Thank God it's not too good to be true
Oh, what a world, and then there is you
Oh, and then there is you
These are real things
These are real things
Oh, what a world, all kinds of magic
Tell me it's not too good to be true
Oh, what a world, and then there is you
Oh, what a world, I don't wanna leave
There's all kinds of magic, it's hard to believe
(And then there is you)
Oh, what a world, I don't wanna leave
There's all kinds of magic, it's hard to believe
(And then there is you)
Oh, what a world, I don't wanna leave
There's all kinds of magic, it's hard to believe
(And then there is you)
Oh, what a world, I don't wanna leave
There's all kinds of magic, it's hard to believe
Kacey Musgraves's song "Oh What a World" is a song about appreciation for the beauty and wonder that exists in the world.

From Northern lights to neon glowing sea creatures to plants that open our minds, the song talks about the surreal and magical experiences that make life wonderful.
The lyrics take a philosophical turn in the second verse, where Musgraves wonders about the possibility of past lives and whether we live only once or a billion times. She expresses that it doesn't matter because what's important is being present in the moment with the person she is with. The song concludes by stating that all of these magical experiences are real, and the world is full of wonder, but then there is love, which is an even greater wonder.
The song speaks to the listener's soul and makes them appreciate the beauty of nature, the mystery of life, and the importance of love. The appreciation in the lyrics is contagious, and the song encourages the listener to appreciate the world around them.
