Beautiful World (From `The Scarlet Pimpernel`)

If I could change the world for just on day To make it better for one moment I'd lift the sorrowful veil And recount the tale of a people Longing for laughter Longing for love If I could change the world for just one day I'd free the prisoners of sadness So they can sing in the street To music so sweet and they'tt never Look back in sorrow Only in love Beautiful world Light of love Light of life just like a star Meant to guide us To the safety of a harbour known as paradise Beautiful world It's just a beautiful dream Beautiful dream If I could change the world for just one day To make it better for one moment I'd lift the sorrowful veil And recount the tale of a people Longing for laughter Longing for love If I could change the world for just one day I would embrace the broken-hearted I'd take the pain that they felt And make it all melt To a river Raging with laughter Raging with love Beautiful world Light of love Light of life just like a star Meant to guide us To the safety of a harbour known as paradise If I could change the world
