Wide World Lyrics

It's a wide, wide world, wide, wide world

It's a wide world

We can march to the House of Commons on the 14th of July

Would it make them change their minds

It's okay to question when we don't agree

We're living in a democracy

They'll try and chop and change you to make you fit in

I see hands growing out of broken limbs

Reaching up to the sky

Holding on to light

We can change the world for the better

It's a wide, wide world, wide, wide world

It's a wide world

A snake moving through the streets

Blessing everything it meets

Feel at home everywhere

Just like a meditation

Walking without words Just being in the world

Jarvis Cocker's watching Miss Dynamite on stage Politicians speak on the crest of a wave

Now our hearts are open We talk to everyone

We jump benches in the New Cross sun

It's a wide, wide world, wide, wide world. It's a wide world

Open your eyes to a million people marching You are not alone

Stand up to the man across the water

He doesn't care about your soul

Sometimes the bigger man is the one who says no

When you're old and grey

Will you say you let your love unfold

You say you're a cog in the wheel

But your voice is gold

It's a wide, wide world, wide, wide world. It's a wide world

We're the Star March children from 1982

We marched to Greenham Common to say no to you

Waving to the drivers from the back of the bus Are you a cool guy? or a mean guy? or wise guys like us?

Making boats

Lit a candle in every one We put them on the river like souls to the sun

They took the bombs away because we said no way

We can change the world for the better

It's a wide, wide world, wide, wide world. It's a wide world

Walk outside, see a million stars shining Sometimes wishes come true

Stand up to the man across the water. He doesn't care about your soul

Sometimes the bigger man is the one who says no

Doesn't hear the crickets in the long grass on a summer afternoon

He doesn't see the children playing in that country just like you

It's a wide, wide world, wide, wide world

It's a wide world

It's a wide, wide world, wide, wide world

It's a wide world
