about

Ever feel like the problems of the world are a bit overwhelming? "The World Where I Want to Live" is about embracing positivity and manifesting the very best for the ourselves and the world around us.

Musically, "The World Where I Want to Live" is a Latin-jazz-reggae composition, with an uplifting rhythm, jazz harmonies & improvisation over a contemporary structure, with a positive message.

lyrics

This is the world where I want to live: Children are laughing and living in peace.
This is the world where I want to live: And all of our people are so happy.
This is the world where I want to live: Love for our neighbours and family.
This is the world where I want to live:  Feel all of the planet in harmony.

I look around; I see all the fighting;
I see all the corruption and greed.
Be too easy to lose hope and give up,
If we focus on the negative.

This is the world where I want to live: All we have shelter and warmth and peace.
This is the world where I want to live: With safety and wealth in prosperity.

Discerning eyes; we gotta be the wiser,
We learn from our mistakes as we live.
Turn our sight to what we’re manifesting:
It’s a vision of the positive.

This is the world where I want to live: Everyone of us has food to eat.
This is the world where I want to live: The rivers are fresh; we’ve got water to drink.
This is the world where I want to live: Green energy and technology.
This is the world where I want to live: And each nation helps with the other’s need.

See the darkness and shady deals?
This will pass, as a turning wheel.
Bring the dream; cast the demons out.
Come the dawn, hear the people shout:
Found our faith; lost our leaders,
Leave those moneymen who bleed us.  
We’re taking back all our inner power.
See the light through the darkest hour.

We’re coming up; we rise up, my people,
We’re coming from the underground.
Seize the day; (and we) live with a passion,
Sing it up with our joyful sound

This is the world where I want to live: Compassion and calm, and humility.
This is the world where I want to live: We care and we share so abundantly.
This is the world where I want to live: Trust, and respect in community.
This is world where I want to live: We’re joining hands as a family.
