World Game - John Denver

I want to play in the World Game

I want to make it better it’s ever been before

I want to play in the World Game

I want to make sure everybody knows the score

About using less, doing so much more

Everywhere I’m going I see trouble

Everywhere I’m looking I see all kinds of pain

Maybe we can get back on the double

Maybe we can turn around and make it all change

They say it’s you against your neighbor

If it gets right down to it, you against your friend

I swear that this is not the answer

As far as I can see it is the way it all ends

I want to play in the World Game

I want to make it better it’s ever been before

I want to play in the World Game

I want to make sure everybody knows the score

About using less and doing so much more

Hey man, you know me I don’t worry

Hey man, you know me I am never afraid

Only one thing can make me sorry

Something to say and then it never gets said

What kind of man turns on his brother

What kind of man turns his back on a friend

Who has the right to say it’s over

Who has the right to see how far it can bend

I want to play in the World Game

I want to make it better it’s ever been before

I want to play in the World Game

I want to make sure everybody knows the score

About using less, doing so much more

Yaweh yaweh yaweh jah

Yaweh yaweh yaweh jah

Yaweh yaweh yaweh jah

Yaweh yaweh yaweh jah

You and me you and me You and me you and me I and I — I and I I and I — I and I I want to play in the World Game

I want to make it better it’s ever been before

I want to play in the World Game

I want to make sure everybody knows the score

About using less, doing so much more
