"I'm Gonna Write A Song" lyrics

I'm Gonna Write A Song

Alright
Folks sit around
With their face in a frown
And they gripe
About the way things are
They're happy to receive
But they hardly ever want to give

Well, neighbor
I'm so tired of complaining
So in the time remaining
I'm gonna do my best
To make the world
A better place to live

Yes, now I'm gonna write a song
That the whole wide world can sing
It's gonna be about sunshine
And praise every living thing

It's gonna be about love
The one thing the world needs a lot more of
Well, I'm gonna write a song
That the whole wide world can sing
Pick it, son

Well, our forefathers had only faith in God
And the will to make our nation strong
So the old time religion
Could help them find a better way

Well, we need a liitle more soul saving
And a whole lot more flag waving
And there ain't no better time for us
To start than today
Sing it, children

Well, now I'm gonna write a song
That the whole wide world can sing
It's a gonna be about sunshine
And praise every living thing

It's gonna be about love
The one thing the world needs a lot more of
I'm gonna write a song
That the whole wide world can sing

I'm gonna write a song
That the whole wide world can sing
It's a gonna be about sunshine
And praise every living thing

It's gonna be about love
The one thing the world needs a lot more of
I'm gonna write a song
That the whole wide world can sing

Yes, I'm gonna write a song
That the whole wide world can sing
It's a gonna be about sunshine
And praise every living thing

It's gonna be about love
The one thing the world needs a lot more of
I'm gonna write a song
That the whole wide world can sing
