A clever device to use the contraction ‘round for around, ending up with a round world.
I would have liked the lyrics to say 'they’ instead of ‘you’ in the 3rd (bridge) stanza, because a) most of the people listening to this song will not be the problem, and b) ‘they’ would be uplifting.
A great son...
[Verse 1]
The day the world gets 'round
To understanding where it is
Using all it's found
To help each other, hand in hand
[Verse 2]
The day the world gets 'round
To understanding where it's gone
Losing so much ground
Killing each other, hand in hand
Such foolishness in man
I want no part of their plan, no
[Bridge]
You're the destructive kind
Now I'm working from day to day
As I don't want to be like you
A love with a pure heart
And the ones who have made a start
But Lord, there are just a few
Who bow before you in silence they pray
Oh how they pray for
[Verse 3]
The day the world gets 'round
Using all they've found
To help each other, hand in hand
[Outro]
