B F# E
With the news there's something every day
B F# E
So many people thinking different ways, you say
B
Where is the music
F# E
A tune to free the soul
B F# E
A simple lyric, to unite us all, you know
B F# E
Your opinion only knows the one thing
B F# E
That you seem to want to have most, and you chose
B F#
To save yourself in your own time you'll
A E F# F#7
Have to stay and open up your own, mind
B F# E
And every glow in the twilight knows
B F# E
That the world is only what the world is made of
B F# E
Just you and me can agree to disagree
B F# E
And the world is only what the world is made of
B F# E
In all the noise facing every day
B F# E
The colored world has turned into a grey, you say
B F# E
And from the void, the place in which we came
B F# E
Can we step back and see we want the same
B F# E

B F# E
that you seem to want to have most, and you chose
B F#
To save yourself in your own time you'll
A E F# F#7
have to stay and open up your own, mind
B F# E
And every glow in the twilight knows
B F# E
That the world is only what the world is made of
B F# E
Just you and me can agree to disagree
B F# E
And the world is only what the world is made of

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
B F# E
And every glow in the twilight knows

That the world is only what the world is made of
B F# E
Just you and me can agree to disagree

And the world is only what the world is made of
