What a Wonderful World
Embracing Beauty: Sofi Tukker's Musical Canvas
Lyrics
I see trees of green, red roses too
I see the beauty in nature, represented by green trees and red roses.
I see them bloom for me and you
The flowers bloom, symbolizing growth and beauty, for both the singer and the listener.
And I think to myself
The singer reflects on their thoughts.
What a wonderful world
The singer acknowledges the world's wonder and beauty.
I see skies of blue and clouds of white
Observation of a serene sky with blue hues and white clouds.
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
The contrast between the bright day and the sacred darkness of night is appreciated.
And I think to myself
The singer reiterates their reflection on the world's wonderful aspects.
What a wonderful world
The singer reaffirms the sentiment about the world's wonders.
What a wonderful world
A repetition emphasizing the awe-inspiring nature of the world.
The colors of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
The beauty of a rainbow's colors in the sky.
Are also on the faces of people goin' by
The colors of the rainbow are reflected in the diverse faces of passing people.
I see friends shakin' hands, sayin', "How do you do?"
The singer observes friends greeting each other.
But they're really sayin', "I, I love you"
The words exchanged superficially (saying hello) hide deeper emotions of love and affection.
I hear babies cry, I watch them grow
Notices the cycle of life through the cries of babies and their growth.
They'll learn much more than I'll ever know
The acknowledgment that the younger generation will learn more than the singer.
And I think to myself
The singer continues to admire the world's wonder in reflection.
What a wonderful world
Reiteration of the wonder of the world.
What a wonderful world
Repeated emphasis on the world's wonderful nature.
What a wonderful world
Final reaffirmation of the beauty and wonder of the world.
