Workin' on a World

I got so down and troubled I nearly lost my head I started wakin' every morning Filled with sadness, fear and dread The world I took for granted Was crashing to the ground And I realized I might not live long enough To ever see it turn around Oh, but then I got to thinkin' Of the ones who came before Of all the sacrifices that they made To open up so many doors Doors I got to walk through On streets paved for me By people who were workin' on a world They never got to see Now, now we're workin' on a world I may never see I'm joining forces with the warriors of love Who came before and will follow you and me I get up in the morning Knowing I'm privileged just to be Workin' on a world I may never see I don't have all the answers To the troubles of the day But neither did all our ancestors And they persevered anyway When I see a little baby Reaching out its arms to me I remember why I'm workin' on a world I may never see I'm workin' on a world I may never see Joining forces with the warriors of love Who came before and will follow you and me I get up in the morning Knowing I'm privileged just to be Workin' on a world I may never see I'm workin' on a world I may never see
