Chaka Khan Watching the World song lyrics

Rockets launch us to outer space

Far away from this human wasteland

We're bringing heaven to other worlds

Abandoning the home fires of our birth

There are fools who believe we can't live here as one

There are wise men who say it still can be done

Chorus:

I'm watching the world

I'm watching the change in power

I'm watching the world

Are we building a future or just standing still?

We will harvest the fields of wheat

For a promise of food to eat

Forging plows to make swords for war

We can stop this fighting and open the door

Only fools could believe we can't live here as one

Who's to say it cannot be done

Chorus:

Who is watching this world?

Who is changing the balance of power?

I'm watching the world

Are we building a future or just standing still?

Vamp

Watching the world

Only fools would believe we can't live here as one

Who's to say it cannot be done

Chorus

Watching the world

Who is changing the balance of power?

I'm watching the world

Are we building a future or just standing still? (just standing still)

Watching the world

Who is changing the balance of power?

We're watching the world

We're building a future

We're not standing still

I'm watching the world

Who is changing the balance of power?

I'm watching the world

We're building a future

I'm not standing still

I'm watching this world

Watching the world (7x)
