Perfect World
Ring of Fire Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Everyone has a plan
Everyone has demands
One grain of sand makes a pearl
I want a perfect world
Making promises is easier
That to fulfill
A miracle will last forever
We are the people of the planet
We all imagine a perfect world
The kind of place where everything's alright
We are connected, we are troubled
So many answers, still no cure
Sleeping on dreams of a perfect world tonight

Why are you trying to hide
We're all the same inside
So many flags are unfurled
I want a perfect world
All our life is only just a feather in the wind
A miracle will last forever

We are the people of the planet
We all imagine a perfect world
The kind of place where everything's alright
We are connected, we are troubled




So many answers, still no cure
Sleeping on dreams of a perfect world tonight

However, the reality is that we are troubled and still struggling to find answers. The last line implies that even though we may not have achieved it yet, we continue to sleep on dreams of a perfect world tonight.


Overall, the song's message is that we all hope to achieve a world free of problems and full of love, but we must recognize our struggles and work towards finding solutions.
