[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
Now I'm workin' on a world I may never see
I'm joinin' forces with thе warriors of love
Who came beforе and will follow you and me
I get up in the mornin' knowing I'm privileged just to be
Workin' on a world I may never see
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
I'm workin' on a world I may never see
Joinin' forces with the warriors of love
Who came before and will follow you and me
I get up in the mornin' 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
