LYING IN THE PARK
ON A BEAUTIFUL DAY
THE SUNSHINES
IN THE GRASS
AND MY CHILDREN PLAY
SIRENS PASSING
FIRE ENGINE RED
SOMEONE'S HOUSE
IS BURNING DOWN
ON A DAY LIKE THIS
THE EVENING COMES
AND WE'RE HANGING OUT
ON A FRONT STEP
AND A CAR GOES BY
WITH THE WINDOWS
ROLLED DOWN
AND THAT WAR SONG'S
PLAYING
WHY CAN'T WE BE
FRIENDS
SOMEONE IS SCREAMING
AND CRYING
IN THE APARTMENT
UPSTAIRS
FUNNY THE WAY IT IS
IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT
SOMEBODY'S
GOING HUNGRY
AND SOMEONE ELSE
IS EATING OUT
FUNNY THE WAY IT IS
NOT RIGHT OR WRONG
SOMEBODY'S HEART
IS BROKEN
AND IT BECOMES
YOUR FAVORITE SONG
THE WAY YOUR MOUTH
FEELS
IN YOUR LOVER'S KISS
LIKE A PRETTY BIRD
ON THE BREEZE
OR WATER TO A FISH
THE BOMB BLAST
BRINGS THE BUILDING
CRASHING TO THE FLOOR
HEAR THE LAUGHTER
WHILE THE CHILDREN
PLAY WAR
FUNNY THE WAY IT IS
IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT
ONE KID WALKS
TEN MILES TO SCHOOL
ANOTHER'S DROPPING OUT
FUNNY THE WAY IT IS
NOT RIGHT OR WRONG
ON A SOLDIER'S
LAST BREATH
HIS BABY'S BEING BORN
STANDING ON A BRIDGE
WATCH THE WATER
PASSING UNDERNEATH
IT MUST HAVE BEEN
MUCH HARDER
WHEN THERE WAS
NO BRIDGE JUST WATER
NOW THE WORLD IS SMALL
COMPARED TO HOW
IT USED TO BE
WITH MOUNTAINS
AND OCEANS
AND WINTERS AND RIVERS
AND STARS
6 BAR
BREAK
ACROSS THE SKY
THE JET PLANE'S
SO FAR OUT OF MY REACH
IS THERE SOMEONE
UP THERE
LOOKING DOWN ON ME
A BOY CHASED A BIRD
SO CLOSE
BUT EVERY TIME
HE'LL NEVER CATCH HER
BUT HE CAN'T
STOP TRYING
10 BAR
INSTRUMENTAL
BREAK
OH FUNNY THE WAY IT IS
NOT RIGHT OR WRONG
SOMEBODY'S
BROKEN HEART
BECOMES YOUR
FAVORITE SONG
FUNNY THE WAY IT IS
IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT
ONE KID WALKS
TEN MILES TO SCHOOL
ANOTHER'S DROPPING OUT
STANDING ON A BRIDGE
WATCH THE WATER
PASSING UNDERNEATH
IT MUST HAVE BEEN
MUCH HARDER
WHEN THERE WAS
NO BRIDGE JUST WATER
NOW THE WORLD IS SMALL
COMPARED TO HOW
IT USED TO BE
WITH MOUNTAINS
AND OCEANS
AND WINTERS AND RIVERS
AND STARS
