Like the buzz of a neon light
Static on a radio
The crackling of an old vinyl record
Round and round it goes
The thunder before the storm
All those roses with their thorns
Sometimes ya hold your breath cause there's no words
Oh but that's what makes it a beautiful world
An ordinary prayer
A handwritten letter
Don't forget to call your mom
Cause she still makes things seem better
Rain falling through the sunshine
Being young at summertime
And the way that life rolls through those twists and twirls
Yeah that's what makes it a beautiful world
We're all gettin our hearts broke
We're all walking a tightrope
If we could all get together just once in awhile
And find the good that's even in the bad
And raise a glass
A goodbye kiss in the driveway
God laughing at the plans ya make
Saying I love you for the first time
And saying I love you for the last time
Screams of a newborn baby
They must know this world is crazy
I want to feel it all so I'm diving in head first
Give me every blessing give me every curse
Cause that's what makes it a beautiful world
Yeah that's what makes it a beautiful world
A beautiful world
Beautiful world
